A semi-permeable composite with a porous substrate having a polymer network obtained by interfacial polymerization of a reactive polyfunctional monomer having reactive groups --NHR. (R.sub.1 is H or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl groups), --OH or --SH and a reactive polyfunctional material having --NCO reactive groups built from a polyalkylene oxide with terminal --OH groups and a polyisocyanate, and a process for separating components in an organic liquid medium by using said composite.

Process for the separation of components in an organic liquid medium and

Semipermeable composite membrane, with a porous carrier substrate, whereby said carrier substrate is provided with a polymer network obtained by polycondensation, especially interfacial polymerization, which is built up of at least one reactive polyfunctional monomer or oligomer or prepolymer or polymer, and at least one acid halide containing polymer. The specialty of this semi-permeable composite membrane consists therein that the acid halide containing polymere itself is built up of one or more vinyl containing monomers. The acid halide containing polymer is generally a copolymer of acryloylchloride H.sub.2 C.dbd.CHCOCl or methacryloyl chloride H.sub.2 C.dbd.C(CH13)COCl with one or more vinyl containing monomers. Usually the vinyl containing monomer is an acrylate or an acrylamide or a mixture thereof. The invention further relates to a process for the manufacture of such membranes, as well as a method for the separation of components in an organic liquid phase or in the vapor phase using a semipermeable composite membrane according to the invention.

Semipermeable composite membrane, a process for the manufacture thereof,

The invention relates to a semi-permeable composite membrane with a porous carrier substrate whereon a polymer network obtained by interfacial polymerization is applied, said network comprises an additional polymer. According to the present invention said additional polymer is dissolved in the water phase or in the organic phase, from which said interfacial polymerization occurs, which additional polymer is molecularly entangled in said network and may regulate in particular the selectivity and the permeability of the composite membrane.
