Background: The commercialization of mullite-kaolinite hollow fibre HFMs is still obstructed due to the weakness of their mechanical strength. Methods: This study investigates the effect of different sintering temperatures (i.e., 1350, 1400, 1450 and 1500 °C) on the mechanical strength and other fun...
