A. Wenzel et al., Effects of preparation condition of photoinduced graft filling-polymerizedmembranes on pervaporation performance, J MEMBR SCI, 179(1-2), 2000, pp. 69-77
Modification of poly(acrylonitrile) membrane was carried out by heterogeneo
us photoinduced graft polymerization of methyl acrylate from the vapor phas
e. The technique of transmembrane monomer flow has proved to be effective f
or filling pores. The effect of preparation conditions like initiator conce
ntration, reaction time and monomer concentration on the membrane separatio
n was investigated. These graft modified membranes showed benzene permselec
tivity for benzene/cyclohexane mixture (50/50, v/v) on pervaporation. (C) 2
