The invention provides a poly (4-methyl-1-
pentene) (PMP) membrane with a gradient pore structure and a preparation method of the poly (4-methyl-1-
pentene) membrane. The poly (4-methyl-1-
pentene) membrane is suitable for an in-vitro membrane type
artificial lung (ECMO). According to the PMP membrane, PMP and
polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are physically blended, multi-walled carbon nanotubes are combined for reinforcement, and the
composite membrane with an asymmetric gradient pore structure is prepared through a multi-stage electrostatic
spinning process. Wherein the compact layer effectively inhibits
plasma leakage, and the
porous layer optimizes the
gas exchange efficiency. The preparation method is carried out at normal temperature and normal pressure, the limitation of high-temperature
processing of a traditional PMP film is overcome, and meanwhile, the
mechanical strength and the gas permeability of the film are remarkably improved. The PMP membrane has excellent
biocompatibility, long-term stability and
plasma leakage resistance, can meet the long-term use requirement of ECMO, and provides a better solution for an
artificial lung membrane technology.
