Abstract: | Composite polymer membrane of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and acrylamide was prepared on cheesecloth support by gamma-irradiation induced free radical polymerization. The enzyme urease was entrapped in the membrane during polymerization and was cross-linked within the matrix using glutaraldehyde. The membranes could be reused a number of times without significant loss of urease activity. |
