Popis: | The permeability of poly-L-methionine (PLM) membrane and its oxidized form to water vapor was studied. Permeability coefficients of the PLM membrane were large, of the order of 10−7 cm3 (S.T.P.)·cm/cm2·sec·cm Hg. The sorption and permeation behavior of the PLM membrane was hydrophobic. The oxidized membrane was prepared by treating one or both sides of the PLM membrane with an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide. The membrane oxidized from one side is probably not layered but has a gradient of composition from one surface to the other. The amounts of water sorbed by the modified membrane increased with increase in oxidation time. The permeability coefficients of water vapor through the modified membrane were of the order of 10−6 cm3 (S.T.P.)·cm/cm2·sec·cm Hg. |
