Abstract
The homogeneous grafting of methyl methacrylate onto cellulose was carried out in a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-paraformaldehyde solvent system. Three kinds of membranes were prepared: membranes of graft copolymers using ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator (APS membranes), membranes of those using azobisisobutyronitrile, and blended membranes of cellulose and poly(methyl methacrylate). The diffusive permeabilities of solutes through the membranes, the states of water in them, and their microphase separated structures depended on the kind of membrane. The permeabilities of solutes through three kinds of membranes were inferior to those through the membrane cast from the DMSO solution of cellulose. The APS membranes indicated specificity of permeation for vitamine B12, poly(ethylene glycol), and water. It was found that the fine microphase separated structure is essential for the improvement of the permeability through the membranes.
