Technlcal Publication DOE/ PETC/lR-83/6, US.Composite hollow fiber reverse osmosis membranes were prepared by depositing a thin layer (10-50 nm) of plasma polymers on hollow fibers wlth porous walls (made of polysulfone). The coating was canied out in a semicontinuous manner with six strands of substrate fibers. Operational parameters which influence reverse osmosis characteristics of composRe membranes were investigated.
