Novel polyethersulfone membranes with integrated submicron adsorbent particles were prepared by combining photoirradiation with liquid phase inversion. These particles consist of cross-linked poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid), pGMA-AMPS. After membrane preparation, the epoxide groups were reacted with diethylene triamine to incorporate amine functionalities. Membranes were characterized using FTIR-ATR, SEM and dynamic adsorption of copper from a dilute solution. Effects of monomer concentrations on the properties and separation performance of membrane adsorbers are presented.
