20. s of AC filters we slightly increased the optical mismatch by adding small amounts of 1-bromonaphthalene to the solvent to bring scattered signal to an adequate level, as small pore size membranes scatter leas efficiently.
21. Our mass density measurements are in very good agreement with Millipore data on the fraction of the sample volume occupied by the pores. Unfortunately, no similar data were available for the Sartorius membranes.

23. c. This result is obviously quite general and does not depend on the clusters size.
