Abstract
⺠A thin film composite membrane structure employing a polyamide selective layer anchored to a nanostructured support. ⺠The support consists of an electrospun nanofiber nonwoven and an optional polyester nonwoven support. ⺠Electrospun nanofibers exhibit high porosity and low tortuosity. ⺠A traditional interfacial polymerization approach was used to form the selective polyamide layer. ⺠These new membranes exhibted higher water flux and lower salt flux when compared to a commercial forward osmosis membrane.
