Porous, polyelectrolyte-filled membranes: Effect of cross-linking on flux and separation
Abstract
A new type of membrane composed of a microfiltration substrate and a pore-filling polyelectrolyte has been produced by UV-induced grafting of 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) with varying amounts of divinylbenzene (DVB) onto polypropylene microfiltration membranes. Using the same irradiation conditions, it has been found that graft yield increases substantially in the presence of DVB. The increase in graft yield was shown to be accompanied by a …
