A novel dual-layer forward osmosis (FO) hollow fiber membrane has been designed and successfully fabricated by using a triple orifice spinneret. The fiber consists of two layers made from polyamide-imide (PAI) polymer for the outer layer and polyethersulfone (PES) polymer for the porous inner layer....
