One aspect of the invention relates to customized thin-film composite membranes comprising: a porous support; a selective barrier; and one or more polymeric additives dispersed in the porous support in an amount from at least about 1% and about 50% by weight of the porous support. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of fabricating a porous support comprising the steps of: preparing a polymer solution comprising a polymer, a polymeric additive, and a first liquid; contacting a surface with the polymer solution; and evaporating the liquid. Another aspect of the invention relates to the use of the thin-film composite membranes disclosed herein in osmotically driven membrane processes.

1. A thin-film composite membrane, comprising: a porous support comprising at least one of a polysulfone or a polyethersulfone having a first side with a first plurality of pores, and a second side with a second plurality of pores, wherein the porous support is produced with the at least one of the
1. A thin-film composite membrane, comprising: a porous support comprising at least one of a polysulfone or a polyethersulfone having a first side with a first plurality of pores, and a second side with a second plurality of pores, wherein the porous support is produced with the at least one of the polysulfone or the polyethersulfone at a concentration of 12% weight in the presence of a N,N-dimethylformamide co-solvent of no greater than 25% weight such that the support has a structural parameter of about 676 μm and the average diameter of substantially all of the first plurality of pores is between about 0.1 nm and about 100 nm, and the average diameter of substantially all of the second plurality of pores is between about 2,000 nm and about 3,000 nm;a polymeric additive dispersed in the porous support in an amount from about 1% to about 50% by weight of the porous support; anda semi-permeable selective barrier on the first side of the porous support. 2. The membrane of claim 1, wherein the average diameter of substantially all of the first plurality of pores is between about 1 nm and about 50 nm. 3. The membrane of claim 1, wherein the polymeric additive is selected from the group consisting of polyalkylene glycols, polyalkylene oxides, polyoxoalkylenes, acrylamides, catecholamines and polyetheramines. 4. The membrane of claim 1, further comprising a backing layer on the second side of the porous support. 5. The membrane of claim 4, wherein the porous support is enmeshed in the backing layer. 6. The membrane of claim 4, wherein the backing layer is a woven or non-woven fabric. 7. The membrane of claim 4, wherein the backing layer comprises polyester. 8. The membrane of claim 4, wherein the average thickness of the backing layer is between about 10 μm and about 50 μm. 9. The membrane of claim 1, wherein the selective barrier comprises a semi-permeable, interfacially-polymerized polyamide matrix. 10. The membrane of claim 1, wherein the average thickness of the selective barrier is between about 20 nm and about 500 nm. 11. A method of fabricating a porous support comprising at least one of a polysulfone or a polyethersulfone having a first side with a first plurality of pores, and a second side with a second plurality of pores, wherein the average diameter of substantially all of the first plurality of pores is between about 0.1 nm and about 100 nm, and the average diameter of substantially all of the second plurality of pores is between about 2,000 nm and about 3,000 nm; the method comprising the steps of: preparing a polymer solution comprising at least one of the polysulfone or the polyethersulfone at a concentration of 12% weight in the presence of a N,N-dimethylformamide co-solvent of no greater than 25% weight and a main solvent, and a polymeric additive;contacting a surface with the polymer solution; andevaporating the polymer solution, wherein the support has a structural parameter of about 676 μm;dispersing the polymeric additive in the porous support in an amount from about 1% to about 50% by weight of the porous support; anddepositing a semi-permeable selective barrier on the first side of the porous support. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the average diameter of substantially all of the first plurality of pores is between about 1 nm and about 50 nm. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the polymeric additive is selected from the group consisting of polyalkylene glycols, polyalkylene oxides, polyoxoalkylenes, acrylamides, catecholamines and polyetheramines. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein a portion of the porous support polymerizes within the surface. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the surface is a woven or non-woven fabric. 16. The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of contacting the surface with a second liquid before the surface is contacted with the polymer solution. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the second liquid comprises a main solvent and a co-solvent. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein the second liquid comprises an additive. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the second liquid comprises an additive selected from the group consisting of polyalkylene glycols, polyalkylene oxides, polyoxoalkylenes, acrylamides, catecholamines and polyetheramines. 20. The method of claim 11, wherein the main solvent is selected from the group consisting of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), triethyl phosphate, dimethyl acetamide, and combinations thereof. 21. The method of claim 11, wherein the main solvent is 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP); and the co-solvent is N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). 22. The method of claim 11, wherein the surface comprises polyester. 23. The method of claim 11, wherein the average thickness of the surface is between about 10 μm and about 50 μm.
