Bolld Compatibility of Cellulose Membrane with Phosphonolipid Polar Groups

Requirements for the hemodialysis membrane are excellent permeability for water and solute, mechanical strength and blood compatibility. Many synthetic polymer membranes have been invertigated to raise the efficiency of dialysis, however, 85% of the worldwide hemodialysis still uses cellulose membrane. Though the cellulose membrane has both good permeability and mechenical properties, its blood compatibility needs to be improved for hemodialysis. In this paper, 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl-2-(trimethyl ammonium) ethyl phosphate(MTP) and Glycidylmethacrylate(GMA) were grafted on the cellulose membranes to make blood compa- tible membranes.
