Abstract
The homogeneous graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile onto cellulose was carried out in a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-paraformaldehyde solvent system. Three kinds of membranes were prepared: higher grafting efficiency membranes (H-GE membrane), lower grafting efficiency membranes (L-GE membrane), and blended membranes. The diffusive permeability of solutes through the water-swollen membranes was investigated. The permeability and microphase separated structure depended remarkably on the kind of membrane. Permeability through the H-GE membranes increased with increasing polyacrylonitrile content and leveled off, but that through the L-GE and blended membranes decreased. Permeability through the H-GE membranes was superior to that through the cellulose membrane cast from the DMSO solution of cellulose. However, the good permeability through the H-GE membranes could not be explained by the difference in water content of membranes.
