Fast Blood Oxygenation through Hemocompatible Asymmetric Polymer of Intrinsic Microporosity Membranes.

ABSTRACT: Membrane technology has attracted considerable attention for chemical and medical applications, among others. Artificial organs play important roles in medical science. A membrane oxygenator, also known as artificial lung, can replenish O₂ and remove CO₂ of blood to maintain the metabolism of patients with cardiopulmonary failure. However, the membrane, a key component, is subjected to inferior gas transport property, leakage propensity, and insufficient hemocompatibility. In this study, we report efficient blood oxygenation by using an asymmetric nanoporous membrane that is fabricated using the classic nonsolvent-induced phase separation method for polymer of intrinsic microporosity-1. The intrinsic superhydrophobic nanopores and asymmetric configuration endow the me
