A hollow fiber membrane is formed by embedding a braid having a spiral open weave of monofilaments only, to avoid a whiskering problem. The open weave is characterized by contiguous, circumferential, rhomboid-shaped areas of polymer film separated by monofilaments. When the braid is supported on a plasticized PVA cable having a scalloped periphery, the braid can be infiltrated with membrane polymer which, when coagulated, embeds the braid positioning it around the lumen. The embedded spiral weave, free of any circumferentially constricting monofilament, allows the membrane to be biaxially distensible. The membrane has give not only in the axial or longitudinal direction but also in the radial direction. Give in the radial direction permits soiled membranes to be backwashed under higher pressure than in a comparable braid which is not radially distensible.

Proposed are a plastic foam product added with EVA recycled pellets and a method of manufacturing the same, in which there is provided a process for manufacturing a shoe sole by recycling shoe molding waste generated due to defective judgment during a shoe manufacturing process and used shoe waste discarded after use of finished shoe products, thereby allowing shoe manufacturing to meet the trend of pursuing eco-friendly products in Korea and in markets such as Europe, and there is provided a process in which dispersion between materials is strengthened in the process of manufacturing a plastic foam product by adding EVA recycled pellets to an EVA foam compound and mixing them with each other, thereby enabling uniform foaming and thus realizing a good shape and improving the strength and quality of the product.

A hollow fiber membrane is formed by embedding a braid having a spiral open weave of monofilaments only, to avoid a whiskering problem common in prior art multifilament braid-supported tubular membranes. The open weave is characterized by contiguous, circumferential, rhomboid-shaped areas of polymer film separated by monofilaments. When the braid is supported on a plasticized PVA cable it can be infiltrated with membrane polymer which, when coagulated embeds the braid positioning it around the lumen. The spiral weave, free of any circumferentially constricting monofilament, when embedded in film, allows the membrane to be biaxially distensible. In other words, the membrane has give not only in the axial or longitudinal direction but also in the radial direction. Give in the radial direction permits soiled membranes to be backwashed under higher pressure than in a comparable braid which is not radially distensible.
