It is intended to provide asymmetric porous films which are usable in
blood dialysis, plasma separation, etc. and particularly excellent in the
performance of selectively separating (fractionating) plasma protein,
show little endogenous coagulation, complement or quinine activily and
have an extremely high biocompatibility. Porous films made mainly of a
synthetic polymer and having an asymmetric structure wherein, in the
sectional structure, a dense layer substantially not charged at least on
the outermost surface is provided in the side on which a liquid to be
treated is loaded and at least part of the film other than the outermost
surface is negatively charged. In the above films, the dense layer
non-charged at least on the outermost surface serves as a size barrier
while the part of the film other than the outermost surface serves as a
charge barrier.
