Abstract: A method for making a defect-free carbon molecular sieve (CMS) fiber membrane with an enhanced selectivity and aging resistance includes the steps of fabricating the CMS fiber membrane by pyrolyzing a polymer precursor, coating a thin layer of the silicone rubber on the CMS fiber membrane with the silicone rubber solution and drying the coated CMS fiber membrane to remove the organic solvent. The silicone rubber may be a poly(siloxane) containing repeating units of the moiety of the following formula: wherein R1 and R2 each is independently selected from the group consisting of an H, a C1-C20 aliphatic group, a C3-C20 aromatic group, and a C1-C8 saturated or unsaturated alkoxy group. The silicone rubber may be PDMS.

Abstract: Mixed matrix composite (MMC) membranes with minimal macrovoids and defects are provided by the current invention. MMC Membranes are needed that have minimal macrovoids and defects, provide consistent and good selectivity and permeability performance, provide the mechanical strength required to withstand high membrane differential pressures, and exhibit sufficient flexibility and can easily be formed into desirable membrane forms. MMC Membranes made from a spinning dope that is stabilized with an electrostabilizing additive, particularly an acid additive, results in membranes, particularly hollow fiber membranes that have minimal macrovoids and defects. Thus, membranes of the current invention are particularly suitable for high trans-membrane pressure applications, particularly for separating oxygen/nitrogen, hydrogen/hydrocarbon, and carbon dioxide/hydrocarbon components of a stream.
