Abstract
Abstract The present invention discloses a hydrophilized porous membrane with a crosslinked hydrophilic polymer, which is composed principally of diacetone acrylamide, held physically on at least a part of the pore walls of a starting porous polyolefin membrane, as well as its production process. This hydrophilized porous polyolefin membrane has long-lasting hydrophilicity and good mechanical strength. Its components are dissolved out only minimally in application.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
A process for the production of a hydrophilized porous membrane, which comprises the steps of (A) holding at least diacetone acrylamide, a crosslinkable monomer, and a polymerization initiator on at least a part of the pore walls of a starting porous membrane of a polyolefin which has been rendered porous by a stretching technique, and (B) heating them to polymerize these monomers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
A process for the production of a hydrophilized porous membrane, which comprises the steps of (A) holding at least diacetone acrylamide, a crosslinkable monomer, and a polymerization initiator on at least a part of the pore walls of a starting porous membrane of a polyolefin which has been rendered porous by a stretching technique, and (B) heating them to polymerize these monomers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the monomers are held on at least said part of the pore walls of the starting porous membrane by preparing a solution of the monomers dissolved in a solvent composed of water and/or an organic solvent, impregnating the starting porous membrane with the solution and then evaporating the solvent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the starting porous membrane is in the form of hollow fibers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the polyolefin is a polymer containing as a principal component thereof at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of ethylene, propylene, 4-methyl-1-pentene and 3-methyl-1-butene.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the solubility of the crosslinkable monomer in water of 30° C. is 1 g/dl or greater.
