Abstract

A composite membrane for separating at least one dissolved or suspended component from a liquid phase, and characterized by solvent stability, comprises: (A) a substrate microfiltration, ultrafiltration or reverse osmosis membrane which has been initially formed from at least one member selected from non-crosslinked acrylonitrile homopolymers and copolymers, and non-crosslinked substituted acrylonitrile homopolymers and copolymers, and which has been subjected to at least one in situ crosslinking reaction; and (B) superimposed upon the substrate membrane, at least one coating including at least one component selected from hydrophilic monomers containing reactive functions, hydrophilic oligomers containing reactive functions and hydrophilic polymers containing reactive functions, such reactive functions having been subjected to a post-coating crosslinking reaction.
