Abstract
A novel method for making a composite separation membrane, and the product of that method. This novel method includes applying one or more perfluoroethers to the surface of a microporous fiber or film made of a polymer such as PAN, and subsequently coating that fiber or film surface with a layer of selective material. This method provides a more permeable composite membrane than would be obtained by coating a fiber or film that had not been pre-wetted with perfluoroether.
