Polyacrylonitrile membranes (PAN) and polypropylene (PP) were selected as commercially available and industrially relevant membranes showing good mechanical resistance and featuring respectively hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface chemistry. We leverage electrostatic interactions and covalent grafting strategies to avoid leaching. The membrane carriers are characterized at different stages of the preparation. After TA immobilization, using a model kinetic resolution, we show that these functional materials exhibit high catalytic performance (specific activity), minor leaching and excellent reusability. This paves the way to a future use in flow mode hybrid processes, possibly concatenated with purification strategies.
