Semipermeable capillary having overlapped strengthening layer

摘要

Described is a semipermeable capillary having a tubular semipermeable wall composed of a membrane-forming material (2) and a tubular strengthening layer (1). The tubular strengthening layer includes an elongated tape having mutually overlapped longitudinal edges. The tubular strengthening layer has an open cohesive structure that is embedded in the membrane-forming material whereby the mutually overlapping longitudinal edges are joined together by the membrane-forming material and a continuous phase is formed between the semipermeable wall and the strengthening layer.
