Environmentally benign separation membranes have developed by hybridizing microporous membranes of biodegradable plastics and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles. The depth filter microfiltration membranes of poly(L-lactic acid) developed by Dr. Tanaka, the head of the research project, retained the microcapsules comprised of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles developed by Dr. Kimura, the co-researcher. The hybrid membrane of the biodegradable membrane and hydroxyapatite microcapsules adsorbed bovine serum albumin, a model protein, at a low ionic strength and eluted at an elevated ionic strength.
