The present invention provides, inter alia, a composition useful for
producing a homogeneous, semipermeable membrane, the composition
comprising a polysulfone semipermeable membrane, the polysulfone
semipermeable membrane comprising a mixture of: an
ultra-high-molecular-weight hydrophilic polymer, a polysulfone compound
and a solvent for the polysulfone compound, and the polysulfone
semipermeable membrane having a homogeneous structure such that the
polysulfone semipermeable membrane has a substantially uniform structure.
Another aspect of this invention discloses methods for fabricating
semipermeable membranes by homogeneously mixing the composition, melting
the composition, and melt-spinning the molten composition. Another aspect
of the present invention includes homogeneous, melt-spun, semipermeable
membranes useful for liquid separation processes, such as, but not
limited to, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, dialysis, and reverse
osmosis.
