As far as I know, there's only two types of RO membrane:  CTA (cellulose 
triacetate) and TFC (thin film composite).  The newer type you're thinking 
of may be either the "high-silicate removal" (what Kent Marine calls 
"Hi-S") or the "ultra-high rejection" membrane.  These types are just 
superior quality TFC's that have consistently high rejection rates.
