Polyimides (PI) have the high mechanical, thermal, and chemical stability. However, they have low permeability resulting from rigid chain structure. On the other hand, PDMS is a highly CO2 permeable soft polymer. To overcome low permeability of polyimide, we developed PDMS-based polyimide block copolymer. The effect of PDMS contents on the gas separation properties will be discussed in detail.
