Fabrication of composite FO hollow fiber membranes by co-spinning process – preliminary investigation on properties of the support layer by Cwa, Jackson Xing Long

“…These 3 systems are used to determine mainly viscosity and cloud point. It was found that the viscosity of the dope solution increased when the additives were added, and that the additives were observed to have the effect of increasing the polymer concentration needed to reach a point where a steep increase in the viscosity of the dope solution can be observed; the point that suggests significant chain entanglement occurring in the dope solution.…”
