Hemodialysis membranes prepared from poly(vinyl alcohol): Effects of the preparation conditions on the morphology and performance

Abstract: Poly(vinyl alcohol) was employed for the preparation of hemodialysis membranes with and without the addition of acetic acid and poly(ethylene glycol) with the phase-inversion process. Aqueous solutions of sodium sulfate and sodium hydroxide were chosen as coagulant baths. The performances of the membranes were estimated by the measurement of the removal of uremic toxins (urea, uric acid, and creatinine) from human blood serum. The morphologies of the membranes were investigated and correlated to the membrane p… Show more

“…Several routes can be used to change the surface of chitosan, the key purpose of which is to alter the chemical composition and the surface properties of chitosan to suit specific application [3]- [7]. For the purpose of this research, the modification of chitosan was conducted especially to prevent the interaction between protein and the membrane surface, so that the surface no longer exhibits positive charge.…”

“…Practically, physical PVA hydrogels show a good biocompatibility, which makes them of high interest to the biomedical field. They have been widely studied as a constitutive material for biomembranes (15,16), cell encapsulation (17,18), or soft-tissue reconstruction (4,19). In that respect, several methods have been developed to induce the gelation of PVA, using solvent evaporation (20), thermal treatments by freezing-thawing (19), coagulation in poor solvent (15), or salting out (21).…”

“…PVA is a hydrophilic, elastic, non-toxic, no carcinogenic and biodegradable polymer [6]. The combination between PVA and chitosan can be used as a basic material to prepare hemodialysis membrane [7]. The combination of the two materials aims to neutralize the positive charge of the chitosan as well as increase the hydrophilicity and mechanical properties of the membrane.…”

“…The OH-group located along the open chain of PVA made this material easy to modify by substituting the hydroxyl group with other groups according to particular purposes [7] in this case for hemodialysis membranes. The crosslinking reaction of PVA with citric acid is done in order to incorporate the reactive -COOH groups of citric acid to the backbone chain of PVA.…”
