Dry-wet phased inversion method was used to fabricate polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes. Different concentration of surface modifying macromolecules (SMM) i.e., 2, 4 and 6 wt.% were used as additives in the spinning dope. In the phase inversion SMM migrates to the membrane surfac...
