Abstract
⺠Thin-film composite membranes for forward and pressure retarded osmosis were fabricated. ⺠Electrospun mats served as a base onto which a support layer was formed by phase separation. ⺠Thin-film composite membranes had high salt rejection and high water flux in forward osmosis. ⺠Membrane resistance to shear stress and hydraulic pressure was evaluated. ⺠Nanofibers enmeshed with microporous layer to enhance resistance to delamination.
