The spinnabiliy of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/CaCO 3 microparticle dope solution were explored via a thermally induced phase separation process, and composite hollow fiber (CHF) membranes were prepared successfully. The experiment results showed that the self‐supporting property of CHF got improved after adding CaCO 3 at low concentration of PVDF, so the control of spinning process became easy. The effects of CaCO 3 on the structure and properties of hollow fiber membrane were investigated in terms of morphology, water flux, porosity, breakage strength, and crystallization. The results indicated that CHF presented a uniform bicontinuous structure. The permeability and porosity of CHF increased obviously when CaCO 3 was removed by acid, while the breakage strength decreased slightly. CHF presented a good drying stability. POLYM.
