Poly (ether sulfonamide) (PESA)/poly (ether imide) (PEI) blends were c
ompatibilized with addition of small amount of 1,3-diamino-2-propanol.
Membranes obtained from the compatibilized blend are more hydrophilic
than those obtained from the original pure polymers, and show a relat
ively high permeability with a rather low molecular weight cut-off. Th
e membrane morphology can be controlled by the PESA/PEI composition.
