The Functionalization of Remaining Solvent in Polymeric Membrane Pores for Biomedical Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

The functionalization of remaining solvent in polymeric membrane pores is presented in this paper leading to new polymeric membrane materials for biomedical applications. Polysulfone membranes were synthesized from aniline by phase inversion and the remaining traces of aniline in membrane pores were transformed by diazotization reaction and coupled with three different organic dyes - Alizarin S, Rhodamine B, and Methyl Orange. The membranes were structurally and morphological characterized and used for different biomedical applications like specific separation of proteins or glucose from synthetic blood solutions.
