This contribution describes a methodology to convert commercially available, microporous membranes into ion-exchange membranes using primary anchoring polymer (mono)layers and graft polymerization from the surfaces of the membranes. Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was used to modify the
## Abstract Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles grafted by poly(__N__βisopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) brushes (PNIPAMβ__g__βHA) have been synthesized by the surfaceβinitiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of __N__βisopropylacrylamide (NIPAM). The surface grafting amount of PNIPAM ranges f
A combined method of backpulsing and membrane surface modification was employed for the reduction of membrane fouling. A novel photoinduced grafting method was used to render polypropylene (PP) membranes hydrophilic with neutral or positively or negatively charged surfaces by grafting monomers of po
## Abstract Surface modification of biomaterials is a way to tailor cell responses whilst retaining the bulk properties. In this work, chitosan membranes were prepared by solvent casting and treated with nitrogen or argon plasma at 20 W for 10β40 min. AFM indicated an increase in the surface roughn
