Cellulose membrane has been widely used for bioseparation and blood purification but suffers from fouling issue and insufficient biocompatibility. Surface grafting of zwitterions onto membrane surface can effectively alleviate this issue. Current grafting methods are mostly based on free radical polymerizations and have limitations of multi step process, the requirement of inert atmosphere and inevitable flux decline. Herein we put forward a simple method for cellulose membrane (CM) zwitter-ionization. The modification was carried out via a one-step method based on the alkoxysilane condensation reaction using three silane coupling agents including (3-carboxypropylbetaine-propyl)-tri-methoxysilanc (CPPT), (3-sulfopropylbetaine-propyl)-trimethoxysilane (SPPT), and (3-sulfobutylbetaine-propyl)-trimethoxysilane (SBPT). Membrane surfaces were characterized by ATR-FTIR, XPS, SEM, water contact angle (WCA) and streaming potential. Membrane mechanical performance, pore size and its distributions were measured. The antifouling property, hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility of the membranes were evaluated by protein adsorption, platelet adhesion, cell attachment and MTT assay experiments. The results show that sulfobetaines and carboxybetaines were successfully grafted on the CM surface. The obtained zwitterions-grafted membranes show excellent resistance to protein adhesion, platelet adhesion and cell attachment. More importantly, the biocompatibility of the CM membrane was retained. 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
