First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of making a filter laminate, comprising the steps of:
- 1) providing a first plurality of discreet layers of material, wherein at least one of the layers comprises an asymmetric membrane;
2) contacting the layers to form a first stack, wherein each layer is adjacent at least one other layer in the stack;
3) forming a bond between adjacent layers in the first stack, wherein the bond is formed after the formation of the material of the layers, thereby forming a first laminated stack layer;
4) contacting the first laminated stack with a second layer of material; and
5) forming a bond between the first laminated stack layer and the second layer, wherein the bond is formed after the formation of the material of the layers, thereby forming a filter laminate.
