A new type of forward osmosis (FO) hollow fiber membranes with an antifouling nanofiltration (NF)-like selective layer has been developed in this work. The fabrication involves a step of porous poly(amide-imide) (PAI) ultrafiltration (UF) hollow fiber spinning via phase inversion, followed by simple...
