Cellulose Derivatives Based Membranes for Biomedical Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a comparative study of cellulose acetate membranes, respectively nitrocellulose membranes, synthesized under the same conditions for the retention of proteins from aqueous solutions. It has also been studied the hydrodynamic behavior of the membranes, measuring water, respectively ethanol flow rates, and the retention of proteins. The membranes have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy in order to study the morphological differences.
