“…One of the factors influencing the latter is the antioxidant behaviour and in several cases the desired properties have been introduced through posttreatment of the existing membrane modules. The latter has proved to be a successful approach but functionalization takes place at the polymer surface, resulting in a relatively low degree of substitution (Sasaki et al 2000). To overcome this limitation, in the present studies we report on the bulk functionalization of microcrystalline cellulose, which is then used in a second step to prepare membranes with antioxidant activity by phase inversion.…”

“…Sasaki et al (2000) reported the use of dialysis membranes, derivatized with vitamine E moieties by post-treatment of the original regenerated cellulose membranes through reactive coupling with epoxy-functional vitamin E derivatives. The increased biocompatibility should reduce the complications that may occur during interaction of membranes with liquid streams (hemodialysis, hemofiltration, plasma fractionation); cells, tissues and organs (regenerative medicine, bioartificial organs).…”

“…Vitamin E (-tocopherol) was then bonded to oleic alcohol via hydrophobic interaction. Sasaki et al, 2000, reported the outline of the production process as well as the results of in vitro and in vivo studies on Excebrane, which showed much better biocompatibility than the original regenerated cellulose membrane.…”

“…One is its poor blood compatibility, represented by complement activation occurring during extracorporeal circulation. [3][4][5] As a solution to this problem, many chemical modifications of the membrane surface have been proposed, and some of them have successfully been commercialized, such as the grafting of poly(ethylene glycol) 6,7 and the fixation of vitamin E. 8 The other is its low permeability for low molecular weight proteins. The excessive existence of certain proteins in blood causes many kinds of complications.…”
