  • Publication number: 20240139688
    Abstract: A polymeric hollow fiber membrane is provided having a crosslinked selective layer formed by sequentially performing coating of a polymer precursor on a crosslinked polymeric hollow fiber membrane support and thermal condensation and thermal crosslinking thereof, a carbon molecular sieve hollow fiber membrane, methods for producing the same, and methods of separating gases using the same. The polymeric hollow fiber membrane and the carbon molecular sieve hollow fiber membrane each have a thin crosslinked selective layer and excellent plasticization resistance and separation performance. Accordingly, the polymeric hollow fiber membrane and the carbon molecular sieve hollow fiber membrane, each of which has a thin crosslinked selective layer, can be effectively used in the separation of a mixed gas.

  • Patent number: 11920027
    Abstract: A polymer blend membrane includes a polyether-based copolymer and a polyether polymerized in situ and has high permeability and high selectivity for carbon dioxide. In the polymer blend membrane, the free volume of the polyether-based copolymer is greatly increased, and the adsorption capacity for carbon dioxide is enhanced. Thus, it can have excellent mechanical properties and excellent permeability and selectivity for carbon dioxide.

  • Publication number: 20220372289
    Abstract: A hybrid crosslinked polymeric membrane and a process for fabricating the same are provided. Specifically, the hybrid crosslinked polymer membrane comprises a glassy polymer and a ladder-structured polysilsesquioxane and has a crosslinked structure. The hybrid crosslinked polymer membrane can have an excellent permeability of carbon dioxide by virtue of an increase in the free volume and enhanced plasticization resistance, chemical resistance, and durability.
