The present invention provides a method of manufacturing an aromatic
polyamide composite membrane comprising: coating an aqueous solution
containing polyfunctional aromatic amine to a porous polymer substrate;
and reacting the coated substrate with an organic solution containing
polyfunctional aromatic acyl halide to lead to interfacial condensation
polymerization between the polyfunctional aromatic amine and the
polyfunctional aromatic acyl halide so that the reaction product
resulting from the interfacial condensation polymerization is coated on
the surface of the substrate, characterized in that either of the aqueous
solution containing polyfunctional aromatic amine or the organic solution
containing polyfunctional aromatic acyl halide has dendritic polymer as
one of polyfunctional compounds added thereto. The resulting aromatic
polyamide composite membrane which includes dendrimer as polyfunctional
compound, exhibits high salt rejection rate and water flux.
