Surface self-assembled zwitterionization of poly(vinylidene fluoride) microfiltration membranes via hydrophobic-driven coating for improved blood compatibility

Quaternized polysulfone and graphene oxide nanosheet derived low fouling novel positively charged hybrid ultrafiltration membranes for protein separation

“…The adsorbed amount of BSA on the fabricated membranes was lower than, for instance, other reported membranes in literature. [51][52][53][54] Flux recovery ratio (FRR) values for membranes after UF of BSA solution at pH = 3 are depicted in Fig. 8(B).…”

A simple but efficient zwitterionization method towards cellulose membrane with superior antifouling property and biocompatibility

“…Several studies indicated that zwitterionic surfaces had comparable protein repellency to PEG/OEG coated ones [19,20]. In addition, zwitterionic polymers show better longterm stability and higher efficacy on thrombosis resistance [21]. Typical zwitterionic polymers have phosphobetaines, sulfobetaines and carboxybetaines.…”

Composition and properties of porous blend membranes containing tertiary amine based amphiphilic copolymers with different sequence structures

“…There are four types of methods for functional surface construction, including surface-coating [13,14], surface-grafting [15][16][17][18][19], copolymer directly formation [20][21][22], and blending [6,7,[23][24][25][26][27]. Surface coating is an efficient and easy-to-operate method that directly covers a functional layer onto the membrane surface by physical adsorption interaction.…”
