Several efforts to produce mechanically robust polymeric hollow fiber membranes have led to the use of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) hollow braided tubes, which offer rigidity to hollow fiber membranes. However, a compensation of flux exists with increased filtration pathway occasioned by braid s...
