Membranes currently used in these devices were developed for blood-contacting systems, like hemodialysers or blood oxygenators, and show less than optimal performance in contact with hepatocytes. Tailor-made membranes of acrylonitrile copolymers with acrylamido-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) were developed for application in a bioartificial liver bioreactor to overcome this bottle-neck.}, note = {Seifert, B.; Kostadinova, A.; Albrecht, W.; Groth, T.; Altankov, G.; Lendlein, A.: Membranes made of P(AN/AMPS) copolymers for hepatocyte cultivation in bioreactors.
