Abstract

The preparation and morphological characterization of a so-called composite membrane based on a 3-miktoarm star terpolymer on a support layer is reported. It is demonstrated that different levels of order and different morphological orientations can be obtained by directly casting the star terpolymer solution on the support, depending on the prior treatment of the support layer and the casting conditions.
