Title: Bioreactors including enzyme-embedded multicomponent polymers

Abstract

According to one general embodiment, a membrane, includes a polymeric network configured to separate a first fluid and a second fluid, where the first and second fluids are different; and a plurality of enzymatic reactive components embedded within the polymeric network. According to another embodiment, a bioreactor includes a lattice of three dimensional structures, each structure including a membrane having: a polymeric network configured to separate a first fluid and a second fluid, where the first and second fluids are different; and a plurality of enzymatic reactive components embedded within the polymeric network.
