- a porous membrane screens a substance to be removed according to the size of the pores on the surface. Therefore, when the pores on the surface of the membrane are elliptical and have a major axis direction and a minor axis direction, the fractionation performance is Depends on the minor axis of the hole.
- the porous membrane is a hollow fiber membrane
- the stock solution being solidified is stretched in the longitudinal direction at the time of spinning, so that the pores are elongated in the longitudinal direction.
- the major axis is the major axis
- the diameter perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is the minor axis.
- the removal substance is apparently larger than the actual size due to the influence of Brownian motion or the like, so the surface pore diameter must be larger than the size of the removal substance.
- the molecular size of ⁇ 2 -microglobulin which is a substance to be removed, is about 3 nm.
- the average value of the minor diameters of the pores on one surface of the membrane is 5 nm or more, preferably 7 nm.
- the thickness is 10 nm or more. If the minor diameter of the pores on the surface is less than 5 nm, the water permeability performance is remarkably lowered, which is not desirable. On the other hand, since the molecular size of albumin that is not preferably removed by dialysis is about 8 nm, in order not to allow albumin to permeate, the average value of the minor diameters of the pores on the surface is 20 nm or less, preferably 18 nm or less, More preferably, it is 15 nm or less, and further preferably 12 nm or less. Thus, by controlling the short diameter of the holes as described above, it is possible to improve the separation performance of the protein to be removed and the protein to be not removed.

- the surface hole is stretched in the direction of the major axis, the larger the minor axis of the hole, the easier it is to deform, so the minor axis of the larger hole becomes smaller, the minor axis of the smaller hole does not change much, and as a result Variations are reduced.
- the fractionation performance will be described later, it can be calculated from the absolute value of the slope of the fraction curve in which the value of the dextran sieving coefficient for each molecular weight is plotted.
- the water permeation resistance can be reduced while maintaining the fractionation performance, and the water permeation performance is improved.
- the higher the water permeability of the membrane the better the diffusion performance of the small molecular weight substance and the better the removal performance. That is, the larger the average value of the ratio of the major axis to the minor axis (major axis / minor axis), the greater the water permeation performance with respect to the fractionation performance. Therefore, the average value of the ratios needs to be 3 or more, and more preferably 3.5 or more.
- the average value of the ratio is preferably 6 or less, and more preferably 4 or less.
- a method of stretching the pores is effective, but more specifically, a stretching method of stretching after the porous film is solidified.

- the method of increasing the draft ratio is preferable because it can be widely applied without being limited by the manufacturing method and materials of the porous membrane.
- the stretching method cannot be applied unless the strength of the porous membrane is strong, it is limited to the case where the membrane material is a crystalline polymer or the like.
- the draft ratio is a value obtained by dividing the take-up speed of the porous film by the discharge linear speed from the slit for discharging the film forming stock solution.
- the discharge linear velocity is a value obtained by dividing the discharge flow rate by the cross-sectional area of the slit, which is the portion where the stock solution of the die is discharged. Therefore, in order to increase the draft ratio, a method of increasing the take-up speed is usually used. However, in the present invention, it is preferable to adopt a method of increasing the cross-sectional area of the discharge portion of the slit. This method of increasing the sectional area of the slit is preferable because it is easy to increase the draft ratio without changing the shape of the porous membrane.
- the cross-sectional area of the porous membrane decreases, so there is a concern about the decrease in the physical strength of the porous membrane, and when the take-up speed is simply increased, until the membrane enters the coagulation bath. Therefore, the polymer may coagulate in the coagulation bath before the pores extend sufficiently in the longitudinal direction of the membrane. In this case, it is difficult to sufficiently extend the pores even if the draft ratio is increased.
- the cross-sectional area of the slit for discharging the film-forming stock solution formed on the die and the film thickness portion of each solidified porous film

- the average value of the major axis of the holes is preferably 100 nm or less, preferably 70 nm or less, and more preferably 50 nm or less.
- the long diameter of the holes is formed by extending the holes of various sizes formed during the phase separation, the variation in the long diameters of the holes becomes large. From the viewpoint of water permeability, it is better that the variation in the major diameter of the hole is larger.
- the standard deviation of the major axis of the hole is preferably 10 nm or more, preferably 13 nm or more, and more preferably 15 nm or more.
- the standard deviation of the major axis of the hole is preferably 100 nm or less, preferably 70 nm or less, and more preferably 50 nm or less.
- the hole having a large variation in the hole diameter may be extended.
- the larger the hole the easier it is to deform. Therefore, when the amount of deformation is increased, the major axis of the larger hole becomes larger, the major axis of the smaller hole does not change much, and the variation of the major axis increases.
- the weight-average molecular weight distribution of the hydrophilic polymer added to the film-forming stock solution as a pore-forming agent is increased to make the phase separation non-uniform or to promote the phase separation. It is effective to promote this growth of the surface.
- the holes grow due to the fusion of the holes, so that the growth of the holes is biased depending on the probability of collision, and the size of the formed holes becomes non-uniform.

Abstract
Description
(A)孔の長径の短径に対する比の平均値が3以上
(B)上記短径は平均値が5nm以上20nm以下であり、その標準偏差が4nm以下
ここで、孔径の測定方法は後述する通りであるが、
本発明の好ましい形態によれば、一方の表面に形成された孔が以下(C)及び(D)を満たす。
(C)孔の長径の短径に対する比の平均値が1.5以上
(D)短径は平均値が0.2μm以上0.6μm以下
すなわち、一方の表面に形成された孔は上記(A)及び(B)を満たし、その反対側の表面に形成された孔は上記(C)及び(D)を満たす。本発明のより好ましい形態によれば、上記多孔質膜が中空糸膜であるが、さらに好ましい形態によれば、中空糸膜において、(A)及び(B)を満たす表面が内表面であり、上記(C)及び(D)を満たす表面が外表面である。血液浄化用途に用いる場合、血液は膜の内側を通り、血液中の不要物質はより微小の孔径の孔がある内表面から、比較的大きな孔径の孔がある外表面に向けて除去される。
ここで、a:孔径の平均値、b:測定した孔径、c:測定した孔径の数
また、もう一方の表面、例えば多孔質膜が中空糸膜であり、内表面に微細孔を有する場合、分画性能に影響を与えない外表面に形成される孔については、透水性能の向上の観点から孔の長径の短径に対する比の平均値が1.5以上であることが好ましい。一方で、上記比の平均値が大き過ぎると、膜構造がもろくなり、強度が低下する恐れがあるので、上記比の平均値は4以下が好ましく、さらには3以下が好ましい。また、外表面に形成される孔は、透水性などの性能や、糸束にした際に発生する摩擦の観点から、短径の平均値が0.2μm以上であることが好ましく、さらには0.3μm以上が好ましい。一方で、糸強度の観点から、孔の短径の平均値は0.6μm以下が好ましい。
ポリビニルピロリドン含有率(f)=100×(d×111)/(d×111+e×442)
製膜原液を調整する際は、高温で溶解することが溶解性向上のために好ましいが、熱による高分子の変性や溶媒の蒸発による組成変化の懸念がある。そのため、溶解温度は30℃以上、120℃以下が好ましい。ただし、使用する高分子および添加剤の種類によってこれらの最適範囲はことなることがある。
多孔質膜の透水性としては、200mL/hr/m2/mmHg以上が好ましく、より好ましくは500mL/hr/m2/mmHg以上、さらには800mL/hr/m2/mmHg以上が好ましい。また、高すぎた場合、内部濾過が起こりやすく、溶質除去性能は高くなるが、血液処理用途の場合、血球に与える刺激も大きくなるので、2500mL/hr/m2/mmHg以下が好ましく、より好ましくは2200mL/hr/m2/mmHg以下、さらには2000mL/hr/m2/mmHg以下が好ましい。透水性能(UFR)は下記の式で算出する。
UFR(mL/hr/m2/mmHg)=Qw/(P×T×A)
ここで、Qw:濾過量(mL)、T:流出時間(hr)、 P:圧力(mmHg)、A:中空糸膜の内表面積(m2)
中空糸膜において、分画性能の指標として、デキストラン篩い係数がある。デキストラン篩い係数とは、デキストラン水溶液を中空糸膜で濾過した際に、デキストランが膜を透過する割合であり、重量平均分子量毎に得られる値である。デキストラン篩い係数は次式で求められる。
ここで、SCはデキストラン篩い係数、Ciは分離膜に供給する水溶液の濃度、Coは濾過後に供給側に残った水溶液の濃度、Cfは濾液の濃度である。各分子量のデキストラン濃度は、ゲル濾過クロマトグラフィ法などの方法で測定できる。測定の際は、分子量と濃度の検量線を、分子量および濃度が既知のデキストラン溶液から得れば良い。各分子量に対するデキストラン篩い係数の値をプロットした分画曲線の傾きの絶対値、特に篩い係数が0.45から0.55の部分の分画曲線の傾きの絶対値が大きいほど、分離性能の高い中空糸膜と言える。分画曲線の傾きの絶対値は小数点第3位を四捨五入した値を用いる。分画曲線の傾きの絶対値は1.35以上が好ましく、より好ましくは1.40以上、さらには1.45以上であることが好ましい。また、デキストラン篩い係数が0.1となる分子量を分画分子量とする。
中空糸膜の使用時の経時的な膜性能安定性の指標として、アルブミンふるい係数(Sc-Alb)の経時変化を測定した。アルブミンは、生体に有用なタンパク質のひとつであり、近年の中空糸膜モジュールにおいては尿毒症蛋白質(低分子量蛋白質とも称される)を除去するための膜の大孔径化に伴いアルブミンの過剰な透過またはロスを抑制しつつそれより分子量の小さい低分子量蛋白質を透過させるような分画性を求められており、アルブミンのふるい係数が膜の分離性能を測るための代表的な指標となっている。すなわち、アルブミンふるい係数の経時的な変化を測定することによって、中空糸膜モジュールの性能の経時的な安定性を知ることができる。
上式において、CDo=Do回路出口部のアルブミン濃度(g/ml)、CBo=Bo回路出口部のアルブミン濃度(g/ml)、CBi=Bi回路入口部のアルブミン濃度(g/ml)
導血後5~10分後の値Aと60~240分の値Bの比率B/Aが大きい方がファウリング抑制能が高く、0.4以上が好ましく、より好ましくは0.5以上、さらに好ましくは0.6以上である。
多孔質膜が中空糸膜である場合の測定例を示す。
ここで、Qw:濾過量(mL)、T:流出時間(hr)、P:圧力(mmHg)、A:中空糸膜の内表面積(m2)
(2)デキストラン篩い係数の測定方法
多孔質膜が中空糸膜である場合の測定例を示す。
分離性能の指標として、分画曲線の傾き(s)の絶対値をSCが0.45の重量平均分子量(MW0.45)とSCが0.55の重量平均分子量(MW0.55)から次式で算出した。sの絶対値が大きいほど、分離性能が高い。sの値は小数点第3位を四捨五入した値を用いた。
また、SCが0.1となる重量平均分子量を分画分子量とした。
(3)微量窒素分析法
多孔質膜を主として構成する非結晶性高分子がポリスルホンであり、親水性高分子がポリビニルピロリドンである場合の例を示す。
電気炉温度(横型反応炉)
熱分解部分:800℃
触媒部分 :900℃
メインO2流量:300mL/min
O2流量:300mL/min
Ar流量:400mL/min

3回測定を行った結果の平均値を測定値(N)とし、有効数字は2桁とする。
(4)表面孔径の測定
多孔質膜が中空糸膜であり、内表面が緻密層である場合の例を示す。
(4)と同様の方法で多孔質膜の表面の観察を行い、得られたSEM像において任意に選んだ1μm×1μmの範囲に存在する全ての孔について二値化を行い、解析を行った。孔部分の総面積を読み取り、解析範囲の面積に対する百分率を算出して、開孔率とした。3カ所で同じ測定を行い、平均値を算出した。
