Abstract: | A novel membrane material based on random copolymer composed of poly(acrylonitrile-(3-(methacryloylamino)propyl]-dimethyl(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide)) (PAN–MPDSAH) was synthesized by the water phase suspension polymerization. The zwitterionic PAN-based membranes were prepared through blending PAN and PAN–MPDSAH copolymer by a phase inversion method. The zwitterionic PAN-based membranes have higher hydrophilicity and wettability, and lower protein adsorption in comparison with the control PAN membrane. Ultrafiltration experiments revealed that membrane fouling, especially irreversible membrane fouling, for the zwitterionic PAN-based membranes is remarkably reduced due to the incorporation of zwitterionic PMPDSAH segments on the membrane surfaces. Moreover, the reversible membrane fouling during ultrafiltration process can be easily washed away by simple water cleaning. The zwitterionic PAN-based membranes can run for a long time and be reused without significant decrease of separation performance. |
