The present invention provides a separation membrane element packed with a rugged sheet object, the separation membrane element being effective in attaining both stabilization of steps for producing the separation membrane element and an increase in fresh-water production rate. The present invention relates to a separation membrane element including: a separation membrane; and a permeate-side channel material disposed on a permeate side of the separation membrane, in which the permeate-side channel material is a porous sheet object having a recess and a protrusion on at least one face thereof, the recess being a coarsely porous region and the protrusion being a densely porous region.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a sheet having a fine shape transferred thereon, in which a sheet-like base made of a thermoplastic resin is placed between an imprint mold and an intermediate base and the sheet-like base is then pressed by a pair of pressing plates to imprint the fine shape of surface irregularity of the imprint mold to the sheet-like base. The sheet-like base is pressed such that, when pressing force of the pressing plates is maximum, an imprinting pressure difference is present in an imprinting surface of the imprint mold, a maximum imprinting pressure section is present in the imprinting surface, and a portion where the imprinting pressure is minimum is not present in the imprinting surface. The method achieves uniform and highly accurate shape transfer without trapping of air.
