Abstract: A thermoplastic blended potting resin, a blended resin potted membrane, a membrane separation module, a fluid separation device, a method of making and a method of using the membrane separation module and the fluid separation device are described herein. The blended thermoplastic potting resin comprises at least one polar membrane having two end regions and a middle region; and a blended resin comprising a non-polar thermoplastic polymer and a polar thermoplastic polymer; wherein at least one of the two ends regions is coated with the blended potting resin to form a fluid-tight seal between the end regions and the open middle region, and wherein the polar thermoplastic polymer is 1% or greater by weight of blended resin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to potted exchange devices including hollow conduits and or hollow porous membranes wherein the housing includes recessed channels or grooves. The recessed channels or grooves are filled by the potting material during the potting process and form a unitary end structure with the potting material. The grooves or channels formed on the inside of the housing maintains the integrity of the potting with the housing under a wide range of mechanical and thermal conditions.
