Interest in thin-film membranes with properties specially tailored to the respective separation process is growing. In order to obtain such membranes with high permselectivity and fouling resistance, established membrane systems are combined with new building blocks. Star polymers are a class of promising building blocks. In this study, star polymers with anion exchange groups of variable molecular weight and low polydispersity were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization. The anion exchange groups were tertiary amino and quaternary ammonium groups. The resulting star polymers were integrated into polyamide thin-film composite membranes using interfacial polymerization.
