Surface energy considerations in the context of membrane preparation are examined. The viability of a membrane‐casting system can be successfully assessed with pertinent surface tension data. It is illustrated how surface tension data for multicomponent casting solutions can be used to resolve the surface structure of asymmetric reverse osmosis membranes.
