Poly-glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was appended onto a porous membrane of a hollow-fiber form with an epoxy group density of 14 mol per kg of the starting porous membrane. Octadecylamine was added to the epoxy group of the polymer brush at a maximum molar conversion of the epoxy group into the octadecylamino group of 59%. An acidic extractant, bis(2,4,4,-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272), was impregnated on the octadecylamino group by immersion of the octadecylamine-added porous membrane in Cyanex 272/ethanol solution. The amount of impregnated extractant was 1.4 mol per kg of the GMA-grafted porous membrane at a molar conversion of 59%. The phosphinic acid moiety of Cyanex 272 was attracted by the amino part of the octadecylamino group of the polymer brush to swell the entire volume of the porous membrane. This swelling compensated for the pore volume reduction caused by grafting the charged polymer brush to the pore surfaces of the porous membrane. The impregnated Cyanex 272 was repositioned on the charged polymer brush in response to the properties of surrounding liquids. The hydrophobic interaction enables the hydrophobic moiety of Cyanex 272 to associate with the octadecyl part of the octadecylamino group of the polymer brush to capture zinc ions. The binding efficiency of the Cyanex 272-impregnated polymer brush for zinc ion was as high as 93%.
