Accordingly, it is an object of this disclosure to provide a blend polymeric membrane to provide the separation of COfrom a gaseous mixture. The blend polymeric membrane comprises a blend of polyphosphazene and polymers of intrinsic microporosity. Further, the present disclosure also provides a method of use for the blend polymeric membrane for the separation of gases in a gaseous mixture.

Mechanically robust PIM-1 and polyphosphazene blended polymer for gas separation membranes

One or more embodiments relate to providing substrate for separating a first gas component from a gaseous mixture, said substrate comprising a benzimidazole-linked polymer. Also provided is a method for synthesizing a substrate for separating a first gas component from a gaseous mixture, the method comprising performing a free condensation reaction between an aryl-o-diamine and an aryl-aldehyde to yield a benzimidazole-linked polymer. Other embodiments related to providing a COseparation membrane comprising benzimidazole-linked polymer residing within a matrix.
