The present invention relates to a composite semipermeable membrane including: a support membrane; and a separation functional layer provided on the support membrane, in which the separation functional layer includes a thin membrane, the thin membrane has a fold structure including a plurality of protrusions, an actual length L of the thin membrane per 1 μm length of the support membrane in a cross-sectional direction perpendicular to a membrane surface is 3.0 μm or more, and a thickness of the thin membrane in the protrusion is 15 nm or more.

Composite semipermeable membrane

The present invention relates to a composite semipermeable membrane including: a support membrane; and a separation functional layer provided on the support membrane, in which the separation functional layer includes a thin membrane, the thin membrane has a fold structure including a plurality of protrusions having a height of 10 nm or more, and in the fold structure, a ratio (T100/T25) is less than 0.95, where T25 is a thickness of the thin membrane in a region of 0% to 25% of the height of the protrusion and T100 is a thickness of the thin membrane in a region of 50% to 100% of the height of the protrusion.

The present invention relates to a composite semipermeable membrane including: a support membrane; and a separation functional layer provided on the support membrane, in which the separation functional layer comprises a plurality of protrusions formed of a thin membrane, and at least a part of the plurality of protrusions has a ratio (Wa/Wb) of larger than 1.3 in cross sections at arbitrary ten positions each having a length of 2.0 μm in a membrane surface direction of the support membrane, provided that Wa is a maximum width of the protrusion and Wb is a root width of the protrusion.
