2‐Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and β‐cyclodextrin are bridged using toluene‐2,4‐diisocyanate (TDI) by reacting the OH group of HEMA and one of the primary OH groups of β‐cyclodextrin. The modified HEMA is grafted to polyurethane by γ‐irradiation. The preliminary study showed that the membrane potential of conventional polymers like polyurethane could be enhanced considerably by this type of modification. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
