Abstract

PURPOSE:To make polyolefin hollow yarn permanently hydrophilic by forming a thin film of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer on the polyolefin hollow yarn having fine pores, and then saponifying the film. CONSTITUTION:A thin film consisting of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is formed on at least a part of the wall surface of fine pores of hollow yarn of polyethylene, polypropylene, etc., whose inner and outer wall surfaces are communicated by the fine pores which re formed between the two of many fibrils arranged in the lengthwise direction of the hollow yarn. The content of the vinyl acetate is necessarily regulated to >=20wt%. The polymer concn. is preferably regulated to 1-5wt%. The hollow yarn membrane is heated in an aq. soln. of alkali such as sodium hydroxide for a specified time and saponified.

[Conventional Technique 11 Various membranes are known as ultrafiltration membranes and precision filtration membranes used for pure water production, filtration of colloidal substances in water, etc.
Polyolefin membranes are known as one of them. Polyolefin membranes are widely used due to their advantages such as good chemical resistance and the ability to manufacture membranes by melt-forming. We have proposed a porous polyolefin hollow fiber in which micropores of 0.01 to 1 μm communicate between the inner and outer wall surfaces of the hollow fiber.

A thin film made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is permanently formed on at least a part of the wall surface forming the micropores of a polyolefin hollow fiber having micropores connected from the inner wall surface of the hollow fiber to the outer wall surface. A method for obtaining a hydrophilized polyolefin hollow fiber is, for example, by applying a solution containing an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer to at least part of the wall surface forming micropores of a porous polyolefin hollow fiber, and then Drying to remove the solvent, or forming a thin film of water-insoluble organic polymer by immersing it in a 1M solid solution of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and performing rapid solidification treatment, and drying this. It is obtained by Since the ethylene chains of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer exhibit excellent affinity for porous polyolefin hollow fibers, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer weight firmly adheres to the micropore surface of the porous polyolefin hollow fiber membrane. adhere to. However, as the ethylene content of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer increases, the adhesion improves, but the wood affinity decreases, so the vinyl acetate content of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer should be 20% or more by weight. Preferably, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer concentration of the solution containing the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is preferably 1.0 to 5.0% by weight.

If it is less than 1.0% by weight, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer will not have sufficient wood-philicity after saponification treatment, which is undesirable.On the other hand, if it exceeds 5.011% by weight, the micropores of the polyethylene hollow fibers will be blocked. This is not preferred because it reduces cancer hyperactivity.
