The possibility of porosity control in N6/N66 membranes prepared from N6/N66 blend solutions of calcium chloride – methanol mixture was investigated. For N6/N66 blend solutions at 10 °C and 20 °C, the four‐phase structure of solid, gel 1, gel 2 and solution was observed clearly in the pore formation process after adding water on a solution surface. In the boundary part between gel 1 and gel 2, the phase separation of N6 and N66 was predicted. The macroscopic pores of blend membranes prepared at 10°C and 20 °C were almost spherical.
