TLDR
In this article, a process for the production of a microporous membrane, characterized by casting a solution prepared by dissolving under heating an open-ring polymer of a compound of the chemical formula (I) in a solvent (a) in which the polymer is soluble to form a film, rapidly cooling this film, and extracting the solvent from the resulting film with a cleaning solvent (b) in order to obtain a polymeric membrane having a bubble point of 10 to 1000 kPa as determined using ethanol (according to the testing method stipulated in JIS K 3832).
Abstract
Microporous membranes excellent in chemical resistance, particularly suitable for microfiltration, and easy of disposal; and a process for the production thereof. Specifically, microporous membranes characterized by being made from a polymer prepared by the ring-opening polymerization of a compound of the chemical formula (I) and by having a bubble point of 10 to 1000 kPa as determined using ethanol (according to the testing method stipulated in JIS K 3832), the polymer including the open-ring polymers and copolymers represented by the chemical formula (II), for example, norbornene resins. A process for the production of a microporous membrane, characterized by casting a solution prepared by dissolving under heating an open-ring polymer of a compound of the chemical formula (I) in a solvent (a) in which the polymer is soluble to form a film, rapidly cooling this film, and extracting the solvent (a) from the resulting film with a cleaning solvent (b) in which the polymer is insoluble to thereby obtain a microporous membrane having a bubble point of 10 to 1000 kPa as determined using ethanol (according to the testing method stipulated in JIS K 3832).
