The membranes with higher concentration of MSG additive were found to be thermally more stable and of porous structure. Due to porous structure, the permeation rate of impurities in blood through the membrane was increased. The effect of coagulant liquid temperature was also investigated and it was shown that increasing/decreasing the temperature does not significantly affect the performance of the polyamide-MSG membrane. © 2014 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. date: 2013 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Shakaib, M. and Ahmad, I. and Yunus, R.M. and Noor, M.Z.
