Abstract |
The objective of this research is to synthesize cellulose acetate (CA)
based membranes for hemodialysis. It is planned to blend sericin with CA to make
CA/sericin blend membranes for examining the increment in dialysis efficiency of
CA. Afterwards contact angle measurement, porosity, molecular weight cutoff, pure
water flux and water uptake of blend membranes are determined to check the
change in CA matrix after modification. Moreover, the surface morphology of CA/
sericin blend membranes examined using SEM, AFM and FTIR analysis. These
results reveal successful and homogenous blending of sericin in CA. The Bovine
Serum Albumin (BSA) rejection and urea clearance of CA/sericin blend membranes
were investigated to view their applicability in dialysis operation. Furthermore,
concentration of sericin is varied in CA/sericin blend membranes and its impact was
inspected on BSA rejection and Urea clearance. It is observable that M4 is showing
best results among all prepared membranes. The inc
