Evaluation of an Immunoisolation Membrane Formed by Incorporating a Polyvinyl Alcohol Hydrogel within a Microporous Filter Support

An immunoisolation membrane formed by incorporating a high water content polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel into a microporous polyether sulfone (PES) filter has been investigated in this study. The PVA hydrogel is formed in situ within the filter pores via glutaraldehyde (GA) crosslinking under acidi...
