“…Most importantly, the affinity membrane chromatography offers some advantages including higher flow rate, faster binding rate, lower pressure drop, higher productivity, and easier scale-up as compared with the affinity column (bead) chromatography [3][4][5]. Up to now, a wide range of membranes, such as cellulose [6][7][8], chitin [9], nylon [10,11], polyethersulfone [12], polyethylene [13,14], polyvinylidene difluoride [15], and polypropylene [16,17] have been used as substrates for protein adsorption and some commercially available adsorptive membranes have been developed [18]. For practical applications, the available membranes should possess high thermal and chemical stability along with good mechanical strength and durability [1,5].…”
