Hemodialysis Membrane Prepared from Bacterial Cellulose/Lithium Chloride/N,N-Dimethylacetamide Solution

摘要

A new bacterial cellulose regenerated cellulose membrane (RBC) has been prepared by phase inversion method in LiCl/DMAC solution. The effects of coagulation concentrations on the physical properties of the RBC membranes were studied and optimized. Features of the RBC of membranes obtained using 0%~40% N,N-Dimethylacetamide (DMAC), such as water absorption percentage, porosity (Pr), ultrafilter rate (UFR), and tensile strength were investigated. The RBC membranes prepared with 40% DMAC solution as coagulant exhibit a smooth surface and a high tensile strength with suitable UFR. RBC showed improved permeabilities for urea and vitamin B_(12) when compared with commercial cellulose membranes.
