We present an in-depth study to identify and unify the effects of solvent parameters on solute rejection. For this purpose, we measured the rejection of 407 solutes in 11 common and green solvents using a polyimide membrane in a medium-throughput cross-flow nanofiltration system. Based on the large dataset, we experimentally verify that permeance and electronic effects of the solvent structure (Hildebrand parameters, electrotopological descriptors, and Log<em>P</em>) have strong impact on the average solute rejection. We furthermore identify the most important solvent parameters affecting solute rejection. Our dataset was used to build and test a graph neural network to predict the rejection of solutes. The results were rigorously tested against both internal and literature data, and demonstrated good generalization and robustness. Our model showed 0.124 (86.4% R²) and 0.123 (71.4 R²) root mean squared error for the internal and literature test sets, respectively. Explainable artificial intelligence helps understand and visualize the underlying effects of atoms and functional groups altering the rejection.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100033,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Membranes","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100061"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50199945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SPIP could be covalently inserted into PDA coating structures via Michael addition reaction to accelerate the deposition process of PDA and reduce its aggregation. In addition, the rigid and spiro configuration of SPIP molecules provides higher fractional free volume and leads to looser and more uniform structures in the PDA coating.

However, plasma leakage often occurs during clinical applications, which decreases the oxygenation performance and the service life and may endanger the patient's life in serious cases. In this work, Hyflon AD/PMP hollow fiber composite membranes were prepared by coating Hyflon AD on the surfaces of PMP hollow fibers to form ultra-thin, dense layers. Compared the plasma leakage time of the composite membrane with that of the pristine PMP membrane, the Hyflon AD60 layer showed great improvement in anti-leakage performance. The Hyflon AD60/PMP hollow fiber composite membrane possessed lower platelet adhesion and protein adhesion than that of the PMP membrane, indicating better blood compatibility of the Hyflon AD60 membrane. Cytotoxicity experiments were conducted to further confirm the biosafety of Hyflon AD60 as a blood contact medical membrane material. Gas permeance and oxygenation performance of the Hyflon AD60/PMP hollow fiber composite membrane were tested to ensure gas exchange efficiency during the gas separation process.
