A sulfonic acid (SO 3 H)‐group‐containing nonwoven fabric was prepared by radiation‐induced graft polymerizaton of an epoxy‐group‐containing monomer, glycidyl methacrylate, onto a nonwoven fabric and subsequent sulfonation. The nonwoven fabric containing SO 3 H groups at different densities was equilibrated with lysozyme in a buffer (pH 6.0). The equilibrium binding capacity (EBC) of lysozyme increased linearly with increasing SO 3 H group density. The SO 3 H‐group‐containing polymer chains extended from the pore surface due to mutual electrostatic repulsion and held lysozyme in multilayers. The maximum EBC was 0.7 kg/kg at a SO 3 H group density of 1.7 mol/kg.
