Thin film composite (TFC) membranes are state-of-the-art membranes with superior permeability and selectivity and are widely used in various membrane-based processes for desalination, wastewater treatment and other separation applications. These TFC membranes are generally made out of a thin polyamide selective layer that synthesized through interfacial polymerization on the top surface of a microporous substrate. The first commercialized TFC membrane was reported in the 1970s for reverse osmosis (RO) process of seawater desalination. It was later expanded to nanofiltration (NF) process for colour and divalent salts removal in the 1980s. In the early 2000s, the potential use of TFC membrane was explored in the osmoticallydriven process including forward osmosis (FO) process and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process. Despite the exceptional performance improvement of TFC membrane was achieved, the existing TFC membranes still suffer from several bottlenecks in terms of fouling resistance, productivity as well as durability upon compaction and chemical attack and have the limited overall separation efficiency. Research in the past has focused mainly on the fabrication of polyamide layer that determines the rejection rate and antifouling resistance of the TFC membrane. This strong research interest on the polyamide layer development can be reflected by the large number of relevant articles published in open literature since 1970s (> 3,000 articles). Nevertheless, over the past 15 years, we have seen growing interest among membrane scientists to study the roles of polymeric substrate and perform in-depth analyses on how the changes in the substrate physicochemical properties could affect polyamide layer structure and thus membrane performance. Recent advancements in the new polymeric materials development and nanomaterials synthesis have opened a lot of opportunities for new generation substrate development. Compared to the pressure-driven membrane processes, the substrate of TFC membranes plays a more significant role in osmotically-driven process as the occurrence of internal concentration polarization (ICP) (within the substrate) to reduce the available driving force for osmosis and may be regarded as an artificial source of inefficiency in FO/PRO process. Considering the importance of TFC membranes for industrial separation process, this review will give a high-quality state-of-the-art account of the subject matter by emphasizing the substrates made by different techniques (e.g., Loeb-Sourirajan phase inversion method, doubleblade casting, electrospinning, and surface modification technique) and various materials (e.g., new polymeric materials, polymer-polymer composite, polymer-inorganic nanocomposite, etc.). More specifically, the article will review the roles of the developed substrates on the chemical and physical properties of polyamide selective layer and further their influences on the TFC membrane performances for both pressure-driven (NF/RO) and osmotically-driven (FO/PRO) processes, aiming to stimulat...

“…When the reaction time was 3 min, the Na 2 SO 4 rejection was >97%, as the reaction rate of the interface polymerization was very fast. 54 When the reaction rejection became steady while that of MgCl 2 decreased, and the NaCl rejection still increased rapidly and the declination tendency of the water ux slowed down. That can be ascribed to the increase of the degree of crosslinking with the expanding reaction time.…”

“…29,30 More importantly, it has recently been proved to be a superior substrate material for the TFC NF membrane by Chen et al and our previous work. 31,32 However, the influence of the PMIA structure on property and performance of the resultant NF membrane has not been investigated systematically. In this work, PMIA substrates were first developed via phase separation with different PMIA concentrations (12,14,16, and 18%), and then, PA/PMIA composite membranes were fabricated through the IP technique.…”

In this research, polypiperazine-amide (PA) thin film composite (TFC) nanofiltration membranes were successfully prepared via an interfacial polymerization technique atop poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) supports, which were prepared via the phase separation method. The systematical effects of PMIA substrates’ properties on TFC membranes were first investigated by varying the PMIA concentration. The morphological structure, physicochemical characteristics, and filtration performance of substrates and TFC membranes were evaluated by a series of analytical technologies. Also, results revealed that the changes in PMIA substrate properties had a significant influence on PA barrier layer formation, mainly including PA thickness, topography, pore size, and separation performance. In addition, considering both flux and retention ability to different salts, TFC membranes developed upon the substrate with 14% PMIA concentration exhibited excellent performance.
