Study of the Effect of Inorganic Particles on the Gas Transport Properties of Glassy Polyimides for Selective CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>O Separation
Three polyimides and six inorganic fillers in a form of nanometer-sized particles were studied as thick film solution cast mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for the transport of CO<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub>, and H<sub>2</sub>O. Gas transport properties and electron...

Three polyimides and six inorganic fillers in a form of nanometer-sized particles were studied as thick film solution cast mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for the transport of CO<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub>, and H<sub>2</sub>O. Gas transport properties and electron microscopy images indicate good polymer-filler compatibility for all membranes. The only filler type thatdemonstrated good distribution throughout the membrane thickness at 10 wt.% loading was BaCe<sub>0.2</sub>Zr<sub>0.7</sub>Y<sub>0.1</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (BCZY).
