Over the past decade, CO 2 separation and capture have become the new bandwagon for
polymer science and membrane research. This review presents the fundamentals of CO …

Polyimides (PIs) are an important, well-established, and commercialized class of polymers
due to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties. They have been extensively …

Carbon emission has become a worldwide concern with global warming and concurrent
climate changes. Carbon capture using membrane-based technology offers an effective way …

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 …

The preparation of polymeric anhydrous proton conducting membranes is critical for the
development of high-temperature proton-exchange membranes (HT-PEMs) for use in fuel …

This paper reports a new macromolecular design that incorporates hierarchical triptycene
unit into thermally rearranged polybenzoxazole (TR-PBO) structures for highly selective and …

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

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) combining the virtues of porous fillers with polymeric
matrices have been widely investigated due to their potential to overcome the permeability …
