Formation of membranes by means of immersion precipitation : Part I. A model to describe mass transfer during immersion precipitation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived boundary conditions for the isothermal diffusion processes in the coagulation bath and in the polymer solution after immersion of a cast (ternary) polymer solution into a (binary) coagulated bath and expressed the mass transfer in terms of thermodynamic driving forces and frictional coefficients.
