Polyethersulfone has gained great attention due to its good thermal stability

oxidative stability

mechanical property and film-formation. Thus

polyethersulfone membrans are widely used in separation and purification fields

especially in blood purification. In this review

we summarize the adjustment of permeability of polyethersulfone membranes in past years

and the progress in modification of polyethersulfone membranes with hemocompatibility

antifouling

antibacterial property

cytocompatibility and multi-functions is also reviewed

especially for the research in our group. Finally

we give the future perspectives of polyethersulfone membranes for blood purification.
