Abstract

Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) are a group of polymers with molecular sieve behaviour due to their rigid, contorted macromolecular backbones. They show great potential in organophilic pervaporation, solvent-resistant nanofiltration and gas and vapour separations. However, they are susceptible to physical ageing, leading to a reduction in permeability over time. An improvement in membrane permeability, control over diffusion selectivity and a reduction of the effect of physical ageing is expected by adding graphene as nanofiller.
