Abstract

Semipermeable membranes of modified polysulfones are provided which comprises repeating units of the formula EQU --M.sub.1 --R.sub.1 --M.sub.2 --R.sub.2 --SO.sub.2 --R.sub.3 --(1) wherein M.sub.1 and M.sub.2 are independently a valence bond, --O-- or --NH--, R.sub.1 is a valence bond or a group of the formula ##STR1## with the proviso that if R.sub.1 is a valence bond, only one of M.sub.1 and M.sub.2 can be --O--, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently a group of the formula ##STR2## the aryl radicals R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are optionally further substituted, R.sub.4 is a valence bond, --O--, alkylene of 1 to 4 carbon atoms optionally substituted or interrupted by cycloalkyl(ene) or aryl(ene) of at most 7 carbon atoms, or alkylidene of 2 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sub.5 to R.sub.10 are independently hydrogen, or ##STR3## radicals, these radicals being modified through chemical reactions with (a) a monomeric compound containing at least two functional groups, (b) a polyfunctional, linear or branched oligomer or polymer, and (c) a non-ionic and/or ionic compound containing at least one, preferably two groups capable of reaction with (b), PA1 --R.sub.12 X or --R.sub.13 CHO radicals, mo…
