Hydrophilic microporous membranes were prepared based on polypropylene (PP) cast films blended with a commercial acrylic acid grafted polypropylene (PP-g-AA) via melt extrusion followed by grafting titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on its surface, annealing and stretching. ATR-FTIR, XPS and EDS analyses showed that the hydrophilic segments of an amphiphilic modifier (PP-g-AA) acted as surface functional groups on the film surface. The results indicated that the presence of the modifier was very important for grafting TiO2 nanoparticles on the film surface. Compared to PP and PP/PP-g-AA blend films, the water contact angle decreased by a factor of 2.5 after grafting TiO2 on the surface of the films, meanwhile the water vapor permeability of the microporous membranes prepared from those films increased by a factor of 1.5. All these results indicated that the hydrophilicity of the modified PP membranes was improved. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
