POLYAMIDE MEMBRANE WITH COATING COMPRISING POLYALKYLENE OXIDE AND BIGUANIDE COMPOUNDS

摘要

Composite membranes including a coating of polyalkylene oxide and biguanide compounds along with various methods for making and using the same. In one embodiment, the composite membrane comprises a thin film polyamide layer including a coating of a reaction product of a polyalkylene oxide compound and a biguanide-type compound. In another embodiment, the coating comprises a polymer including alkylene oxide repeating units and one or more biguanide functional groups.
