Abstract

A method for the preparation of a semipermeable membrane which comprises exposing porous shaped articles of polyacrylonitrile or copolymers thereof containing acrylonitrile in an amount of more than 40% by mole to a plasma. The resulting semipermeable membrane is very useful for separating substances by reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration.
