Abstract:
The latest trend for modification of overall performance of hemodialysis membrane (HD) is the use of biocompatible nanomaterial. For improving performance of hemodialysis therapy, novel biocompatible membranes are in great demand. The main purpose of this study is to increase the protein fouling resistance, biocompatibility, hydrophilicity and to reduce the challenges during the hemodialysis therapy. In this work amine functionalized Titanium dioxide TiO2 is treated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to form Nano composites and then mixed with polysulfone (PSF). Phase inversion process is used for the formation of these hybrid membranes. Characterization of membranes will be done and their overall performance will be evaluated with water permeation rates (PWP) and rejection of urea, creatinine, Iysozyme. It is expected that PSF nano hybrid membranes will show better overall performance and improved hydrophilicity as compared to pristine PSF membranes. So these membranes will show better clearance of the waste like urea, creatinine and iysozyme respectively. These hybrid membranes indeed modified the overall performance of the PSF hemodialysis membranes.
