Functionalized Polysulfones: Synthesis, Characterization, and
Applications focuses on polysulfones and their derivatives, which
are widely used as functional materials in the biochemical,
industrial, and medical fields due to their structural and physical
characteristics, such as good optical properties, high thermal and
chemical stability, mechanical strength, resistance to extreme pH
values, and low creep. Because of their antimicrobial actions,
solubility characteristics, water permeability, and separation, the
functional groups, which modify the hydrophilicity of polysulfones,
are of particular interest for biomedical applications. In
addition, the functional groups are an intrinsic requirement for
affinity, ion exchange, and other special membranes. In this book,
the bioapplications of polysulfones are presented in two
categories: blood-contacting devices (e.g., membranes for
hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration, and hemofiltration) and cell- or
tissue-contacting devices (e.g., bioreactors made by hollow-fiber
membrane and nerve generation through polysulfone semipermeable
hollow membrane). Surface wettability and hydrophilicity trends, as
well as the morphological characteristics of modified polysulfones,
are analyzed for semipermeable membrane purposes. Select chapters
provide an introduction to chelating units on the modified
polysulfone structure to obtain potential applications, such as
surface coatings on metals and glasses, adhesives, high-temperature
lubricants, electrical insulators, semiconductors, and the
reduction of heavy-metal pollution in ecosystems. Featuring recent
scientific information, Functionalized Polysulfones: Synthesis,
Characterization, and Applications advances the basic knowledge of
students and researchers working in the field of polymeric
materials, including physicists, chemists, engineers, bioengineers,
and biologists.
