  • Processes for preparing barrier layer films for use in enzyme electrodes and films made thereby
    Patent number: 5766839
    Abstract: Methods for forming thin layer barrier layer films for use in enzyme containing laminated membranes and membranes formed thereby are disclosed. The barrier layers exhibit improved acetaminophen rejection and comprise a cellulose acetate/cellulose acetate butyrate blend. The thin layer barrier membranes are formed from a plural solvent containing solution and are cured at a critical temperature of about 102.degree.-114.degree. F., most preferably at about 106.degree. F.-114.degree. F. while traveling through a circulating hot air oven. Alternatively, the membranes can be cured at room temperature or in a stagnant oven at temperatures of from room temperature to about 175.degree. C. (350.degree. F.) for a period of from about 10 minutes to 1 hour.
