The present invention provides for a method of producing an integral
multilayered porous membrane by simultaneously co-casting a plurality of
polymer solutions onto a support to form a multilayered liquid sheet and
immersing the sheet into a liquid coagulation bath to effect phase
separation and form a porous membrane. The support can be a temporary
support or form an integrated support for the membrane. The plurality of
layers may be of the same polymer or different, same concentration or
viscosity or different and may be subjected to the same processing
conditions or different ones to form unique structures.
