A novel approach to modification of polypropylene microporous membrane (PPMM) surface based on molecular self-assembly and UV-crosslinking was devised.First
natural amphiphilic lecithin was introduced onto the PPMM surface via self-assembly.Then
a stable biomimetic surface analogy with phospholipid layer was constructed through UV-crosslinking of lecithin
conferring the PPMM surface with good hydrophilicity and biocompatibility.The anchoring of lecithin was confirmed by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy/attenuated total reflection(FTIR/ATR)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies.Water contact angle
and enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) were used to evaluate hydrophilicity and biocompatibility of the membrane.Water contact angle of the PPMMs surface was significantly improved after modification
by a decrease from 130? to 30?.Moreover
the modified membranes showed lower protein adsorption.Furthermore
the self-assembly and UV-crosslinking modified membrane exhibited good stability even after multiple washing compared with the self-assembly modified one.
