1. A method for preparing a hydrophilic porous membrane which comprises the steps of melting-shaping a polymer alloy obtained by blending a polyolefin (Y) with an amorphous hydrophilic copolymer (X) containing 10 mole % or more of ethylene units, 20 to 80 mole % of vinyl alcohol units and 1 mole % or more of vinyl acetate units, the melt-shaping being performed at a temperature in the range of from a temperature 10°

  • C. higher to a temperature 100°

    C. higher than the melting point of the polyolefin (Y), subjecting the melt-shaped article to a heat treatment at a temperature more than the crystal dispersion temperature and less than the melting point of the polyolefin (Y), and then stretching the material to make it porous.
