Investigation on the effect of spinning conditions on the properties of hollow fiber membrane for hemodialysis application

Polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fiber membranes were fabricated via the dry-wet phase inversion spinning technique, aiming to produce an asymmetric, micro porous ultrafiltration hollow-fiber specifically for hemodialysis membrane. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of spinning co...
