Abstract

A process is provided which allows economical production of polyolefin separation membranes having various structures, porosities and pore sizes. The process involves using a melt blend solution consisting of a polyolefin such as polypropylene or polyethylene and a diluent selected from the group consisting of natural soybean oil, pure linoleic acid, or a mixtures of oleic acid, linoleic acid and palmitic acid.
