Abstract

The relative permeabilities, distribution coefficients and diffusion coefficient of some salts which are important components in blood plasma through a poly(HEMA) membrane were measured. The crosslinker which was used for preparing the membrane was tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate(TEGDMA), the weight percentage of the latter was about 2.8. We found that the diffusion coefficients ($D_m$) of the solutes decrease exponentially with increasing molecular weight, and also that $D_m$'s decrease linearly (except urea) with cylindrical radius (a). These facts were explained by a sieve pore flow model. The relative permeability and diffusion coefficient of urea at various temperature were larger than those of other solutes such as glycine, ${\beta}$-alanine, D-glucose, saccharose and maleic acid. The result indicates that the poly(HEMA) membrane might be suitable for hemodialysis application.

혈장내의 중요한 성분인 몇가지 염들이 poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) 격막을 통과하는 상대투과계수($U_{re}$), 분배계수($K_D$), 확산계수($D_m$)등을 측정하였다. 이 격막을 제조할 때 cross-linker로서 사용된 tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate(TEGDMA)의 함량은 중량비로 2.8%였다. 이 염들의 확산계수는 그 분자량이 증가함에 따라서 지수함수적으로 감소하였으며, 그 분자의 원통반지름(a)에 대해서는 요소를 제외하고는 직선적으로 감소하였다. 이와 같은 사실을 sieve pore filow 모델로서 설명하였다. 여러 온도에서 요소의 $U_{re}$$D_m$은 글리신, ${\beta}$-알라닌, D-글루코오스, 사카로스 및 말레산과 같은 다른 염들의 값보다 더 컸다. 이와 같은 결과는 이 poly(HEMA) 격막이 혈투석 응용에 적합하다는 사실을 보여 주었다.
