Hydrogen permselective membranes, which have high hydrogen permeability (approximately 10 10 mol/(m s Pa) with selectivity against water and nitrogen, have been developed by radiation-induced graft polymerization (RIGP) of an acrylic acid (AAc), tetramethoxysirylstyrene (TMSS), and styrene(St) monomers into porous poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) films. The porosity of the prepared porous grafted PVDF were almost constant against grafting degrees. Thus, by hot press compression, the porosity of the grafted membranes was reduced to a 20-40% level. The hydrogen permeability of the compressed grafted PVDF is 10 10 mol/(m s Pa) with the hydrogen permselectivity of 3.2 and 3.5 against water and nitrogen, respectively. The above results indicate that RIGP of porous films with a hot press process is a very effective method to prepare hydrogen permselective membranes.

Cholesterol-bearing pullulan (CHP) forms stable nanogel of 20 nm in size in water. The CHP nanogels can trap various proteins spontaneously. Owing to their characteristics, nanogels can be used in protein delivery systems, particularly for cancer vaccines. The spatial distribution and detailed structure of the cross-linking points are important factor determining their chemical and physical functions. The aim of this study is to investigate the structure of the nanogels by means of contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering (CV-SANS), which enables us to determine quantitative complex structure at nanometer scale. In this presentation, we will discuss the detailed structure of the CHP nanogel.
