Abstract / Description of output

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.
