Modification of polyethersulfone membrane by grafting bovine serum albumin on the surface of polyethersulfone/poly(acrylonitrile-co-acrylic acid) blended membrane

Effect of PE-g-MA compatibilizer on the structure and performance of HDPE/EVA blend membranes fabricated via TIPS method

All rights reserved. membranes, which can be mainly classified into surface modification, nanoparticle incorporation and blending modification (Fang et al, 2009;Li et al, 2010;Nady et al, 2011). Surface modification is usually achieved by coating or grafting a functional layer on the prepared membrane surface, in which most of the modified sites occurred on the top and/or bottom surface of the membrane, excluding the pores inside the membrane, due to the limited diffusion ability of the modifying agents into the membrane pores (Zou et al, 2011).…”

Trypsin-enabled construction of anti-fouling and self-cleaning polyethersulfone membrane

“…Recently, many efforts have been made to enhance the fouling resistance of membranes by surface grafting biomacromolecules. For example, Ulbricht and Riedel (1998) and Fang et al (2009) proposed the modification of PES membrane by grafting BSA on the surface. The increased anti-fouling property was mainly attributed to the improved hydrophilicity of BSA-modified membrane.…”

Grafting of zwitterion from polysulfone membrane via surface-initiated ATRP with enhanced antifouling property and biocompatibility

“…According to the method reported previously [47,50], the membrane (1 cm  1 cm each piece) was immersed in PBS solution and equilibrated at 37 1C for 1 h. Then the PBS was removed and 1 mL of fresh PRP was introduced. The membrane was incubated with PRP at 37 1C for 2 h. Then the PRP was decanted off and the membrane was rinsed three times with PBS.…”
