Abstract
Thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) stands as one of the most widely employed methods for preparing polymeric membranes in industrial and academic settings. This chapter aims to provide comprehensive background information on the TIPS method. First, the mechanism of phase inversion from both thermodynamic and kinetic perspectives will be presented. Subsequently, the impact of preparation parameters on membrane performance will be analyzed. The chapter also emphasizes the crucial role of mass transfer in the TIPS process. Moreover, the practical application of the membranes prepared using the TIPS method will be highlighted. Finally, in the concluding section, a summary and future perspectives will be provided.
