Abstract: The invention concerns the field of polymer chemistry and relates to membranes, such as those that can be used, for example, for the preparation of aqueous solutions using microfiltration or ultrafiltration. The object of the present invention is to specify membranes which have improved anti-fouling properties and sliding friction properties. The object is attained with membranes comprised at least predominantly of multiblock copolymers of the general formula (1) where X=connection point E=C2 to C4 alkyl ether A=other block component not containing silicone R=C1 to C4 alkyl radical and/or phenyl radical m=1<m<500 n=0?n<100 o=1<o<10 p=1<p<10 z=1<z<25, the molar ratio of the silicone-containing block component and the other block component A in the multiblock copolymer is between 5:1 and 1:5, and wherein the silicon-containing block components are predominantly arranged at the surface of the membranes.
