  • the additive poly(dimethylsiloxane-gra/t-ethyleneglycol) (PDMS-PEG) was obtained from Aldrich and contains about 80 wt.% of PEG; the M n is about 3800.
  • Membranes were prepared by the following general procedure. A solution of 3 wt.% Pebax® MH 1657 in a mixture of ethano I/water (70/30 w/w) was prepared under reflux at 80 0 C under continuous stirring (about two hours). After complete dissolution of the polymer, the solution was cooled to ambient temperature. Subsequently, different amounts of PDMS-PEG were added and the solution was stirred for one more hour. Membrane films were prepared by solution casting: the solution was poured in a petri dish and placed under a nitrogen atmosphere at ambient temperature to evaporate the solvent. The obtained films were dried in a vacuum oven at 30 0 C to remove residual solvent. Thermal properties of the films were determined by DSC (Perkin Elmer DSC 7).
  • the glass transition temperature T g is defined as the midpoint of the heat capacity transition of the heating scan and the melting temperature from the onset of melting.
  • Gas permeabilities of flat membrane films were determined with different gas- permeation set-ups.
  • Low pressure gas (N 2 , O 2 , He, H 2 , CH 4 and CO 2 ) permeabilities were determined with a low pressure gas separation (LPGS) set-up at 400 kPa feed pressure at 35°C.
  • High pressure pure and mixed gas permeabilities were determined with a high pressure gas separation (HPGS) set-up for pressure up to 2500 kPa at 35°C.
  • Bot set-ups measured the steady-state pressure increase in time in a calibrated volme at the permeation side of the membrane film (start: vacuum ⁇ 10 kPa) following the constant volume variable pressure method (A. Bos et ah, Separation and Purification
  • the CO 2 permeability of a membrane made from a blend of 50 wt.% Pebax® MH 1657 and 50 wt.% PEG 200 is 172 Barrer.
  • the ⁇ (PCO 2 / PH 2 ) is 10.5, the ⁇ (PCO 2 / PN 2 ) is 50.5 and the ⁇ (PCO 2 / PCH 4 ) is 15.7 (determined with LPGS set-up).
  • PEG200 is a far less effective additive in increasing the permeability of Pebax® MH 1657 membranes.
  • This test was performed with several blends and included also testing of the ⁇ (PCO 2 / PHe) and ⁇ (PCO 2 / PO 2 ). The data are summarized in Table 4.
