This review provides a new perspective on the role of the state-of-the-art polymers of
intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) in key energy-intensive membrane-based gas separations …

Membranes have the potential to substantially reduce energy consumption of industrial
chemical separations, but their implementation has been limited owing to a performance …

Membranes composed of Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity (PIMs) have the potential for
energy efficient industrial gas separations. Here we report the synthesis and gas …

This review concentrates on the advances of atomistic molecular simulations to design and
evaluate amorphous microporous polymeric materials for CO2 capture and separations. A …

Penetrant-induced plasticization has prevented the industrial deployment of many polymers
for membrane-based gas separations. With the advent of microporous polymers, new …

In the last decades, many novel polymeric materials have been considered to prepare highly
energy-efficient gas separation membranes. There is a continuous search to overcome the …

The adsorption and transport of molecules or ions in the confined space of microporous
materials often reveal properties not seen in either dense bulk or microporous materials. The …

Physical aging is a slow structural relaxation process characteristic of glassy polymers that
results in reduced membrane permeabilities. In this study, PIM-1, the archetypal polymer of …

Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) with high free volumes have been synthesized by
incorporating contorted rigid moieties into polymers backbones. Despite their many …
