摘要:
The invention relates to composite membranes for separation of gas mixtures consisting of compact or porous or asymmetric polymeric support and a thin separation layer of conjugated polymers such as polypyrrole or polyaniline and their derivatives. The separation layer of conjugated polymers is prepared by adsorption of monomers on a support and their subsequent in situ polymerization, when the molecules of support and conjugated polymers interpenetrate to form a transition layer. The thus prepared composite membranes are chemically and mechanically stable for a long time.

The invention provides parylene membrane filters (110), filter devices and methods of making them and using them in the mechanical separation of cells and particles by size. The provision of parylene membrane filters with high figures of merit and finely controlled hole sizes (125, 135) allows the separation of cells and particles in a variety of biological and other fluids according to size.
摘要:
An electrochemical biosensor for determining the level of a target chemical in a biological fluid includes an electrochemical system including an enzyme substrate which reacts with the target chemical to yield a system signal related to the concentration in the biological fluid of said target chemical. The biosensor includes a first membrane for immobilizing the enzyme substrate. The first membrane has a porosity permitting passage therethrough of the target chemical to react with the enzyme substrate and a surface exposed to the biological fluid characterized by electron donor site susceptible to facilitating attachment thereon of proteins and fibrin which impair the system signal. A second membrane is bonded to the electron donor sites of the first membrane. The second membrane is formed of a phenyl based polymer having connecting hydrogen atom donors which bond to the hydrogen atom donors bonding to the electron donor sites at least sufficiently to form an outer surface on the first membrane exposed to the biological fluid consisting of phenyl rings without significantly changing the porosity provided by the first membrane.
