Abstract
The diffusive and convective permeabilities of a series of new cellulosic membranes and hollow fibers have been measured. Increased hydraulic permeability is accompanied by a shift in the response spectrum of molecular weight versus limiting rejection, with very little change in the diffusive permeability of small solutes. A pore theory model is used to compare experimental and theoretical permeabilities. Reasonable fits are obtained for diffusive transport, with poorer correlations found for convective transport. The rejection of the hemofilter barriers is compared to the response of the glomerular capillary as a function of solute size.
