Abstract
With various highly permeable dialysis membranes which were developed to remove Beta-2-microglobulin, pore size was obtained by both differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and tortuous pore model studies, and pore diameter distribution was measured by the BET method. The pore size of dry membranes is lower than that of wet membranes. Both pore diameter and pore volume of highly permeable dialysis membranes are higher than those of conventional dialysis membranes. Pore diameter distribution of regenerated cellulose membranes is somewhat different from that of synthetic polymer membranes.
