Disclosed are anti-fouling and optionally specific binding surfaces, methods for forming anti-fouling and optionally specific binding surfaces, and molecules that may be useful for forming anti-fouling and optionally specific binding surfaces. The surfaces may be formed by employing a molecule comprising a poly(2-oxazoline) having functional groups. In an embodiment, the poly(2-oxazoline) comprises a carboxyl endgroup, an amine endgroup, an N-hydroxysuccinimide endgroup, an oxirane endgroup, an oxetane endgroup, or an isocyanate endgroup, which may enable attachment of a specific binding moiety to the poly(2-oxazoline). In an embodiment, the poly(2-oxazoline) molecule comprises a (meth)acrylate functionality that may allow for attachment to a surface comprising a moiety capable of nucleophilic conjugate addition.

The invention relates to a micro-porous membrane comprising a porous membrane carrier made of a first polymeric material (A) and comprising a second polymeric material (B) intimately divided throughout the porous membrane carrier, wherein the porous membrane carrier comprises a plurality of interconnected polymeric fibers, fibrils, filaments and/or lamellae having a thickness of less than 1 &#x3bc;m, the porous membrane carrier has an interconnected open porous structure formed by the plurality of interconnected polymeric fibers, fibrils, filaments and/or lamellae and a porosity of at least 50%; and the polymeric material (B) comprises a thermoplastic polycondensation polymer and is present in an amount of at most 30 wt. %, relative to the total weight of (A) and (B). The invention also relates to a process for preparing such a micro-porous membrane comprising steps wherein (i) a porous membrane carrier made of a first polymeric material (A) is impregnated with a polymer solution comprising a second polymeric material (B) in a solvent system (X), and (ii) the resulting impregnated membrane carrier is quenched in a non-solvent system (Y), thereby precipitating at least part of the second polymeric material (B).

High performance membrane

A membrane for gas separation includes a porous support layer and a separation layer. The separation layer comprises a mixture of one or more saccharide derivatives and one or more homopolymers. The saccharide derivative(s) may have a cyclic structure with five or six ring atoms, or a linear structure, or may include monosaccharide derivatives which are bound via glycoside bonds, and the number of monosaccharides bound in this manner may be 2 to 1,000. A membrane can be produced by preparing a homogeneous solution which comprises a saccharide derivative and a homopolymer in a solvent; and pouring the homogenous solution onto a support layer. The membrane may be used in a gas separation module the operation of which makes use of the membrane.
