Fixed-site-carrier (FSC) membranes for CO2 capture were prepared and investigated using commercial high molecular weight polyvinyl amine (PVAm) casted on two polysulfone (PSf) supports with different molecular weight cut-off (20,000 and 50,000). Using humidified premixed gas (10 mol% CO2, 90 mol% N2

(1) By the entanglement of PVAm chain with PVA chain frame, a mechanically PVA-like membrane was obtained with high concentration of the amino groups within the matrix, which functioned as fixed-sitecarrier (FSC) for CO2 transport. (2) The degree of swelling of the blend membrane can be adjusted by
