Introduction of taurine into polymer brush grafted onto porous hollow-fiber membrane

Amphiphile grafted membranes for the separation of oil-in-water dispersions

“…The use of stimuli-responsive materials as surface modifiers has produced membranes that act as chemical gates. Stimuliresponsive polymers which are sensitive to irradiation [10], temperature [11], specific protein binding [12], and ionic strength [13] have been used as membrane surfaces for the purpose of controlling chemical selectivity. It is possible to control the selectivity of a membrane by taking advantage of differences in polymer-solute interactions [14].…”

“…Some membrane treatments alter surface chemistry [17,18], thus changing the permeability. Likewise, a reduction in relative pore size [7,10,12] due to surface modification has been shown to reduce permeability, whereas high shear-rate flow through the membrane can mitigate this effect in the case of polymer brush modification [19]. Improvements in performance are often realized as a result of reduced fouling or enhanced selectivity while attempting to minimize any loss in permeability.…”

Effect of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers grafting on microbial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)

“…The third is radiation grafting onto PHB. Another application of radiation graft polymerization is developmental research into the separation and refinement of proteins to separate functional materials (Miyoshi et al, 2005). For environmental reasons, materials are being developed as graft adsorbents to remove toxic metals from industrial waste waters and the harmful constituents of the atmosphere (Seko et al, , 2004Shiraishi et al, 2003).…”

Modification of a Porous Sheet (MAPS) for the High-Performance Solid-Phase Extraction of Trace and Ultratrace Elements by Radiation-Induced Graft Polymerization

“…Thus far, we have developed modified porous hollow-fiber membranes by this grafting method. Various moieties, such as ion-exchange [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] and chelate-forming [33][34][35][36][37][38][39] groups, and hydrophobic [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] and affinity [50][51][52] ligands have been introduced into polymer chains grafted to a porous hollow-fiber membrane. Ion-exchange and chelating porous hollow-fiber membranes were designed for protein purification and ultrapure water production, respectively.…”
