Enzymatic Modification of Polyethersulfone Membranes

Enzymatic modification of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes has been found not only feasible, but also an environmentally attractive way to vary surface properties systematically. In this paper, we summarize the effect of modification layers on protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion on PES membranes and surfaces. The enzyme laccase was used to covalently bind (poly)phenolic acids to the membr...

Polyethersulfone Hollow Fiber Membranes for Hemodialysis

Polyethersulfone (PES) is one of the most important polymeric materials and is widely used in separation fields. PES and PES-based membranes show outstanding oxidative, thermal and hydrolytic stability as well as good mechanical and film-forming properties. PES membranes could endure many kinds of sterilized methods, including epoxy ethane gas, steam, and γ-ray. Furthermore, PES-based membranes...

Polyethersulfone : Membranes for Multiple Clinical Applications

Modified polyethersulfone membranes for micellar enhanced ultrafiltration of chromium

Separation performances of micellar enhanced ultrafiltration process in Cr(III) and Cr(VI) removal has been evaluated. The neat as well as sulfonated and aminated derivatives of polyethersulfone were tested as the material for membrane preparation while hexadecylpyridine chloride and sodium dodecyl sulfate served as surfactant. It was shown that modified membranes can better reject both forms o...
