A thin film composite membrane comprises a core layer and a sheath UV-crosslinked polymer layer. The thin film composite membrane is produced by the co-extrusion of two polymer solutions. The core layer and the sheath layer can be separately optimized. The sheath layer may be UV-crosslinked to provide stability and selectivity at the desired operating temperature of the composite membrane.

Present invention relates to a thin film composite membrane wherein a thin selective layer, having incorporated amphiphilic vesicles, is supported by a microporous substrate. A process of preparing the thin film composite membrane and its use are also disclosed.

The invention provides a method of surface functionalization of an aramatic polyamides reverse osmosis thin film composite membrane, which is particularly characterized in that (1) the method that salicylaldehyde and a quaternary ammonium salt functional group are 'cultivated' on the surface of the aramatic polyamides reverse osmosis thin film composite membrane in a dot matrix manner is simple, convenient and easy to operate, and the 'cultivation' density can be subjected to chemical regulation according to the requirement; (2) the uniformity of the surface which is modified by the quaternary ammonium salt and salicylaldehyde functional groups in a dot matrix manner of the aramatic polyamides reverse osmosis thin film composite membrane is high, and the cellular structure and permeability of the aramatic polyamides reverse osmosis thin film composite membrane are not changed; (3) the surface of the aramatic polyamides reverse osmosis thin film composite membrane is simplified by utilizing quaternary ammonium salt and salicylaldehyde functional groups, so that the hydrophilia of the aramatic polyamides reverse osmosis thin film composite membrane can be improved, the performances of antibiosis and sterilization are improved, and the aramatic polyamides reverse osmosis thin film composite membrane is protected from chemistry damage.

The present invention is a technique to fabricate thin-film composite perm-selective membranes by a transfer method. The composite membranes are useful in separating liquid, vapor or gaseous mixtures by selective permeation and reduce mass transfer resistance of the support layer. Selectivity and flux are improved by reduction of the mass transfer resistance of the support layer.

Processes for manufacturing a thin film composite membrane comprising multi-walled carbon nanotubes include contacting under interfacial polymerization conditions an organic solution comprising a polyacid halide with an aqueous solution comprising a polyamine to form a thin film composite membrane on a surface of a porous base membrane; at least one of the organic solution and the aqueous solution further including multi-walled carbon nanotubes having an outside diameter of less than about 30 nm.

There is provided a thin film composite (TFC) membrane comprising a support layer and a selective layer, formed of a cross-linked polyamide comprising Na+-functionalised carbon quantum dots (NaCQD), on a surface of the support layer. There is also provided a method of forming the TFC membrane.
