Abstract

See full text

A process is provided for for cationically charge modifying a microporous filter membrane, wherein the membrane is a substantially symmetrical isotropic, hydrophilic, organic polymeric microporous filter membrane, preferably nylon, having a microstructure throughout the membrane. The process comprises bonding a primary charge modifying amount of a water soluble cationic charge modifying agent to substantially all of the membrane microstructure, without substantial pore size reduction or pore blockage. The charge modifying agent is a reaction product of a polyamine with epichlorohydrin, the reactive product having (i) tertiary amine or quaternary ammonium groups, and (ii) epoxide groups along a polyamine chain, the epoxide groups capable of bonding to the microstructure of the membrane.
