Abstract
Membranes consisting of an elastomeric matrix with dispersed fillers are used in the pressure driven separation of liquid feeds. The fillers are selected in such a way that the interactions between the filler and the elastomer keep the membrane swelling limited, resulting in higher rejections.

1-14. (canceled)
A pressure-driven process for the separation of liquid feeds through a membrane, in which disturbance of the pressure-driven separation is decreased or prevented by a separation membrane comprising an elastomer in which a filler is dispersed in such a way that the filler/matrix interactions limit swelling of the membrane.
