Abstract: Process for producing a semipermeable membrane comprises preparing a low-viscosity to resin-like liquid by hydrolytic condensation of one or more specified organosilanes, forming the liquid into a membrane, optionally drying the membrane and then curing the membrane by thermal, radiation and/or chemical means. The liquid is prepared by hydrolytic condensation of one or more compounds of formula (I)-(IV) and/or precondensates derived from (I)-(IV) and optionally one or more compounds of formula (V) and/or precondensates derived from (V), provided that the molar ratio of (I)+(II)+(III) to (IV) is 1:0-20, in the presence of water or humidity and optionally a solvent and/or a condensation catalyst, optionally with addition of one or more copolymerizable and/or (poly)additionable monomers and/or oligomers and/or one or more curing catalysts and/or one or more soluble and/or volatile pore-forming additives: [Image] R : 1-15C alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl, optionally containing O and/or S atoms and/or ester, carbonyl, carboxyl, amide and/or amino groups; R 1>, R 2>0-15C alkylene, arylene or arylenealkylene, optionally containing O and/or S atoms and/or ester, carbonyl, carboxyl, amide and/or amino groups; R 3>H, R 2>-R 1>-R 4>-SiX xR 3-x, COOH or R; R 4>(CHR 6>-CHR 6>) n, CHR 6>-CHR 6>-S-R 5>, CO-S-R 5>, CHR 6>-CHR 6>-NR 6>-R 5>, Y-CS-NH-R 5>, S-R 5>, Y-CO-NH-R 5>, CO-O-R 5>, Y-CO-C 2H 3(COOH)-R 5>, Y-CO-C 2H 3(OH)-R 5>or CO-NR 6>-R 5>; n : 0 or 1; R 5>1-15C alkylene, arylene or arylenealkylene, optionally containing O and/or S atoms and/or ester, carbonyl, carboxyl, amide and/or amino groups; R 6>H or 1-10C alkyl or aryl; R 7>H or R; Y : O, S or NR 6>; Z : O or (CHR 6>) m; m : 1 or 2; a, b : 1-3, but not both 1; c : 1-6; x : 1-3; x : 1-3; a+x : 2-4.
