Polycarbonate-polyether (PC-PE) polymer, prepared by solution or interfacial polymerization, was used to produce a dry PC-PE diffusion membrane by means of the phase inversion technique. The mechanical stabilities and diffusive permeabilities of chloride, phosphate and vitamin B12 were determined for this membrane. Additionally, close control over manufacturing parameters allowed the study of the effects of varied membrane thickness (at constant ultrafiltration rate) and varied ultrafiltration rate (at constant membrane thickness) on solute diffusive permeabilities. Both increased ultrafiltration rate and decreased thickness resulted in an increase in solute diffusive permeabilities.
