Novel crosslinked layer-by-layer (xLbL) forward osmosis (FO) membranes with a double-skinned design have been synthesized and characterized in the present work. Cross flow reverse osmosis test results showed that the membrane top skin generally had higher hydraulic resistance and better solute rejec...
