Methods of preparing a crosslinked fiber membrane
First Claim
1. A method for preparing a crosslinked hollow fiber membrane, the method comprising spinning into a monoesterifed fiber a one phase solution comprising a monoesterified polyimide polymer, acetone as a volatile solvent, a spinning solvent, and a spinning non-solvent, wherein the volatile solvent is present in an amount of greater than 25 wt. % to about 50 wt. %, based on the total weight of the solution;
- andsubjecting the monoesterified fiber to crosslinking [one of esterfication and transesterification] conditions to prepare a crosslinked hollow fiber membrane.
