SYNOPSIS
Porous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes with a-amylase or glucose oxidase activity were prepared by catalytic hydrosilylation cure of PDMS in the presence of the enzymewater solution. The pores in the membrane are the result of hydrogen foams, which are generated during the curing reaction. The enzyme reactions were examined in batch and permeation experiments by using glucose and starch solutions as substrates. For the permeation set-up, the reaction yields of the immobilized a-amylase increased as the permeation rate of the starch solution decreased. The Michaelis-Menten type of reaction kinetics for the immobilized enzyme indicated that the permeation system is effective for the diffusion through the solute of the matrix, as compared with the batch system. 0 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Polydimethylsiloxane ( PDMS ) membranes were made by catalytic hydrosilylation of a siloxane compound having a vinyl group and an SiH group in the presence of 1,4-dioxane. By washing it with water many pores were formed in the membrane. Then, the pore size of the membrane was controlled by treatment
