Stimuli-responsive membranes change their physicochemical properties in response to
changes in their environment. Stimuli-responsive membranes have been designed to …

Polyelectrolyte (PE) brushes are a special class of polymer brushes (PBs) containing
charges. Polymer chains attain “brush”-like configuration when they are grafted or get …

Benzyl glutamate NCA was graft-polymerized onto a porous poly (tetrafluoroethylene)
membrane in order to study the effects of pH and ionic strength on permeation rate. The …

Polycaprolactone (PCL) membrane was modified by grafting copolymerization of
methacrylic acid (MAA) initiated under UV light. The covalent immobilization of gelatin on …

In recent years, stimuli responsive materials have gained significant attention in membrane
separation processes due to their ability to change specific properties in response to small …

Biomedical applications of hydrogel membranes require understanding of their structural
characteristics and diffusive behavior. Thus, the subject of this review is the analysis of the …

We introduced carboxylic groups on the surface of polyurethane (PU) with the aid of oxygen
plasma treatment and the post-grafting of acrylic acid (AAc) in an aqueous solution. After …

The use of the chain transfer agent, 2-mercaptoethanol, and ethanol cleaning was
successful in producing hydrophilic membranes with higher permeabilities than the …
