Abstract
En 中文
Amphiphilic graft copolymers having ultrahigh molecular weight poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (SMA) backbones and methoxyl poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) grafts were synthesized via the esterification between anhydride groups with hydroxyl groups. The synthesized graft copolymers, SMA-g-MPEGs, were used as additives in the preparation of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes via phase inversion process. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed the comb-like graft copolymers spontaneously segregated to membrane surface during membrane formation. Water contact angle measurements and water absorbance experiments indicated the PES/SMA-g-MPEG blend membranes were much more hydrophilic than pure PES membrane. The blend membranes had stronger protein adsorption resistance than pure PES membrane did. After washed using de-ionized water for 25 days, the blend membranes exhibited higher hydrophilicity and stronger protein adsorption resistance. This phenomenon was attributed to the further accumulation of SMA-g-MPEG additives on membrane surface in aqueous conditions. SMA-g-MPEGs can be well preserved in membrane near-surface and not lost during membrane washing due to their high molecular weight and comb-like architecture. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
