The gas transport properties of Polyimide membranes were examined as a function of physical aging time. A clear decrease of the gas permeability coefficient was observed. Interpretation of the permeation properties using results from differential scanning calorimeter and dynamic mechanical analyzer

Short- and long-term physical aging tests of high molecular weight poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) membranes have been performed at different temperature. The effects of physical aging on the gas permeation properties are studied. Experimental data show that the physical aging decreases the volume

Ethanol/water mixture is separated by pervaporation through a polysulfone (PSf) membrane filled with zeolite. The coupling agent effect of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) on the preparation of PSf/zeolite membrane was also studied. APTMS enhanced the contact of zeolite particles with PSf chain

In this work, a series of fluorine-containing aromatic polyamide membranes were prepared by direct polycondensation of 4,4′-hexafluoroisopropylidene-dibenzoic acid with various aromatic diamines, and the associated gas transport and sorption properties were investigated. The properties of the prepar
