Gas Separation by Polymer Membrane

Polymeric gas separation membrane has been widely used for a variety of industrial gas separation applications. This review presents the structure and property relation and describes the membrane fabrication technology. Polymers are believed to be used commercially for gas separation and hence the challenges associated with the development of membrane materials are also explained. Comparison of competitive technologies and membrane technology and some classes of polymers are also discussed in this review. The focus of the work also include Thermally Rearranged polymer (TR), Polymer of Intrinsic Micro porosity (PIMs), perfluro polymer and high performance polyimide
