Abstract

Abstract The present invention discloses a hydrophilized porous polyolefin membrane with a polymer of a monomer, which has an HLB value of 2 - 20, held on at least a part of the pore walls of a porous polyolefin membrane as well as its production process. This hydrophilized porous polyolefin membrane has long-lasting hydrophilicity and good mechanical strength.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 36 words
A hydrophilized porous polyolefin membrane, wherein a polymer of a monomer having an HLB value of 2 - 20 is held on at least a part of the pore walls of a starting porous polyolefin membrane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 36 words
A hydrophilized porous polyolefin membrane, wherein a polymer of a monomer having an HLB value of 2 - 20 is held on at least a part of the pore walls of a starting porous polyolefin membrane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
The hydrophilized porous polyolefin membrane as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the HLB value of the monomer is 5 - 15.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The hydrophilized porous polyolefin membrane as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the starting porous membrane is in the form of hollow fibers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
The hydrophilized porous polyolefin membrane as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the polyolefin is a polymer composed principally of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of ethylene, propylene, 4-methyl-l-pentene and 3-methyl-l-butene.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 62 words
A process for the production of a hydrophilized porous polyolefin membrane, which comprises the steps of holding a monomer which has an HLB value of 2 - 20 and contains at least one unsaturated polymerizable bond and a polymerization catalyst on at least a part of the pore walls of a starting porous polyolefin membrane and heating them to polymerize the monomer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 62 words
A process for the production of a hydrophilized porous polyolefin membrane, which comprises the steps of holding a monomer which has an HLB value of 2 - 20 and contains at least one unsaturated polymerizable bond and a polymerization catalyst on at least a part of the pore walls of a starting porous polyolefin membrane and heating them to polymerize the monomer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 59 words
The process as claimed in Claim 5, wherein the monomer and the polymerization catalyst are held on the pore walls of the starting porous membrane by preparing a solution of the monomer and the polymerization catalyst dissolved in a solvent of water and/or an organic solvent, impregnating the starting porous membrane with the solution and then evaporating the solvent.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 18 words
The process as claimed in Claim 5, wherein the HLB value of the monomer is 5 - 15.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 19 words
The process as claimed in Claim 5, wherein the starting porous membrane is in the form of hollow fibers.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 31 words
The process as claimed in Claim 5, wherein the polyolefin is a polymer composed principally of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of ethylene, propylene, 4-methyl-l-pentene and 3-methyl-l-butene.
