The invention discloses a
porous membrane and a pore-forming method of the
porous membrane. According to a preparation method, a foaming pore-forming agent is introduced into a membrane-forming
system and can generate uniformly distributed trace air bubbles through reaction so as to form a porous structure; therefore, the
porosity of the membrane is improved, and
macropore defects of the membrane can be avoided. The pore-forming method is applicable to membrane preparation by a solution method and a melting method. The pore-forming method specifically comprises the steps of (1) membrane preparation by the solution method: uniformly mixing a membrane-forming
polymer and the foaming pore-forming agent, dissolving the mixture in a
solvent to obtain a membrane
casting solution containing the foaming pore-forming agent, wherein the membrane
casting liquid enters an acidic coagulating bath after being subjected to scraping or is spun through a hollow
fiber spinning head, so that the membrane
casting liquid is solidified and formed to obtain the
porous membrane when the foaming pore-forming agent reacts to form the air bubbles; (2) membrane preparation by the melting method: uniformly mixing the membrane-forming
polymer and the foaming pore-forming agent, and obtaining an initial hollow
fiber containing the foaming pore-forming agent through conventional
hollow fiber membrane melting
spinning, and putting the obtained initial hollow
fiber into the acidic coagulating bath, wherein the hollow fiber is solidified and formed to obtain the porous membrane when the foaming pore-forming agent reacts to form the air bubbles.
