The properties of these dope solutions were measured. Porous hollow fiber membranes were successfully prepared via RTIPS. Through the RTIPS process, these membranes exhibited unique properties. With the addition of HBPE, these membranes exhibited unique properties. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: Hyperbranched polyesters (HBPEs) based on 2,2-bis(methylol)propionic acid (bis-MPA) was used as an Received 1 February 2015 additive to prepare polysulfone (PSf) hollow fiber membranes while the PSf–HBPE–PEG400–DMAc dope Received in revised form solutions were low critical solution temperature (LCST) membrane-forming systems.
