In the present article, some new events on the surface morphology of the aromatic polyamide thin-film-composite (TFC) membranes were demonstrated in con- junction with their inherent chemical nature. In addition, the detailed, quantitative understanding of the microscopic surface features was shown to be essential in con- trolling the water permeability and eventually developing the high performance mem- branes. The surface roughness and the surface area were mainly affected by the existence or nonexistence of the crosslinking and/or the free amide groups not pertinent to the formation of the hydrogen bonding, which in turn contributed to the water permeability. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
