Conventionally, oxygen enrichment membranes have been made of polymeric materials such as polysiloxane, polycarbonate, polyvinylpyridine, and polyester.
Oxygen-enriched membranes are made from these materials by casting methods, water surface spreading methods, plasma polymerization methods, coating methods, etc. When used as an oxidation-enriching membrane, it is desired that the membrane has good oxygen permeability and permeation rate as well as separation rate (permeation rate ratio) from other gases, generally nitrogen. However, when using each of the above materials, for example, polysiloxane has a low permeability (permeability coefficient of 10 -8 cm 3 cm/cm 2 seconds cmHg).
On the other hand, polyester has a low separation rate of about 2 to 3, while polyester has a high separation rate of about 4 to 5 . cm

In view of this situation, there has been a long-awaited demand for an oxygen-enriching membrane that has both good oxygen permeability and separation rate, and is also excellent in terms of permeation rate. We have previously discovered that this problem can be effectively achieved by selecting a polyester that has the same properties and forming a polyester resin thin film using a plasma polymerization method to reduce the film thickness (Patent Application No. 1983). −163265).

In other words, it is said that polymers obtained by plasma polymerization have different chemical compositions than polymers obtained by other polymerization methods, such as interfacial polymerization, and this causes a decrease in the permeability coefficient. Change, preferably improvement, can be expected. Furthermore, the polymer film obtained by plasma polymerization has a thin film thickness, which can be expected to improve the permeation rate. The results of the present invention were able to fully meet these expectations.

Porous membrane-like materials include porous materials such as polypropylene, polycarbonate, polysulfone, polyvinylidene fluoride, and cellulose acetate.
A membrane-like body such as a flat membrane or a hollow fiber having a thickness that maintains sufficient strength as a support is used. The plasma-polymerized polystyrene resin thin film formed on the surface of this film-like body is obtained by plasma polymerizing unsubstituted or substituted styrene monomer.

The plasma polymerization reaction is performed, for example, as follows. That is, the inside of the cylindrical reaction vessel, which is elongated at one end and has a coil connected to a high-frequency oscillator wound around it, is evacuated from the exhaust port at the other end of the vessel connected to a vacuum pump, and the temperature is 10 -4 to 10. -5 Torr
After reducing the pressure to a pressure of 0.2 Torr, styrene monomer is introduced into the reaction vessel until the pressure reaches 0.2 Torr, and a polymerization reaction is performed by applying power of 20 W from the coil for 30 minutes to generate plasma.
