<p>Improved asymmetrical microporous hollow fibers incorporating a low molecular weight surfactant and the process for the production of the hollow fibers are disclosed. The hollow fibers have significantly improved flux and rewetting characteristics. The process involves passing a polymeric solution through an outer annulus of die to create an annular stream and a precipitating fluid through the inner orifice of the die creating a stream within the annular stream resulting in hollow fiber formation. The process further involves incorporating a low molecular weight surfactant into the hollow fibers at any one of several stages during the process.</p> |
