Method of producing hollow fiber polymer membranes

摘要

In a method of producing hollow fiber membranes, wherein a molten polymer charged with a gas under pressure is provided in an extrusion apparatus, the polymer melt including the gas under pressure is extruded from the extrusion apparatus through a hollow fiber-forming extrusion nozzle with a predetermined pressure drop which provides for a concurrent expansion of the gas contained in the polymer melt thereby forming a porous hollow fiber membrane.
