Water permeation and solute rejection behaviors of a novel hydrophilic polyamide membrane

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The poly(BOL) membrane prepared by “casting polymerization” exhibited an excellent fractional solute-rejection behavior in the aqueous solution, having a comparatively sharp boundary region at the molecular weight range of about 200 to 1400, together with an extremely high water permeability. These conspicuous behaviors, as well as a great capacity for water absorption, may result from some delicate arrangement of polar hydrophilic and nonpolar hydrophobic microdomains probably formed along and between the polymer chains.
