abstract:

A highly gas permeable polyimide with improved molecular sieving properties is produced by using a bisanhydride monomer based on the rigid ethanoanthracene unit. The polymer (PIM-PI-EA) demonstrates enhanced selectivity for gas separations so that its gas permeability data lie above the 2008 Robeson upper bounds for the important O2- N2, H2-N2, CO2-CH4 and CO2-N2 gas pairs.
