Silver-filled polyethersulfone membranes for antibacterial applications - effect of PVP and TAP addition on silver dispersion
Silver-filled asymmetric polyethersulfone (PES) membranes were prepared by a simple phase inversion technique. The effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and 2, 4, 6-triaminopyrimidine (TAP) on the surface properties of the silver-filled asymmetric membrane were investigated for antibacterialapplicat...

Silver-filled asymmetric polyethersulfone (PES) membranes were prepared by a simple phase inversion technique. The effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and 2, 4, 6-triaminopyrimidine (TAP) on the surface properties of the silver-filled asymmetric membrane were investigated for antibacterialapplication. The dispersion of silver nanoparticles (Ag) and silver content on membrane surface were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), respectively. Results showed that smaller silver particles were formed in PES membranes when PVP and TAP were added during dope preparation. Using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), it is found that silver leaching has been significantly reduced up to 57% and 63% upon the addition of PVP and TAP respectively.
