Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A composite membrane comprising: a) a porous support; b) a gutter layer, a portion of which is present within the support and a portion of which is outside of the support; and c) a discriminating layer on the gutter layer; wherein: (i) the portion of the gutter layer outside of the support has an average thickness (GL e ) of 10 nm to 900 nm; and (ii) the portion of the gutter layer present within the support has an average thickness (GL i ) of 10% to 350% of GL e .

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composite membrane comprising: a) a porous support; b) a gutter layer, a portion of which is present within the support and a portion of which is outside of the support; and c) a discriminating layer on the gutter layer; wherein: (i) the portion of the gutter layer outside of the support has an average thickness (GL e ) of 10 nm to 900 nm; and (ii) the portion of the gutter layer present within the support has an average thickness (GL i ) of 10% to 350% of GL e . 2. The composite membrane according to claim 1 wherein GL e has a value of from 400 to 900 nm. 3. The composite membrane according to claim 1 , wherein GL i has a value of 20% to 90% of GL e . 4. The composite membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the gutter layer comprises dialkoxysilane groups. 5. The composite membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the discriminating layer comprises a polyimide, cellulose acetate, polyethyleneoxide or polyetherimide. 6. The composite membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the discriminating layer comprises a polyimide comprising trifluoromethyl groups. 7. The composite membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the discriminating layer comprises a polyimide comprising groups of the Formula (1): 8. A gas separation module comprising a composite membrane according to claim 1 . 9. The composite membrane according to claim 1 wherein GL e has a value of from 200 to 900 nm. 10. The composite membrane according to claim 1 wherein GL i has a value of 10% to 200% of GL e . 11. The composite membrane according to claim 1 wherein GL e has a value of from 400 to 900 nm and GL i has a value of 20% to 90% of GL e . 12. The composite membrane according to claim 11 wherein the gutter layer comprises dialkoxysilane groups and the discriminating layer comprises a polyimide comprising trifluoromethyl groups. 13. The composite membrane according to claim 1 which has a CO 2 gas permeance of 5 to 150×10 −5 m 3 (STP)/m 2 ·s·kPa. 14. The composite membrane according to claim 1 being a composite gas separation membrane. 15. The composite membrane according to claim 11 being a composite gas separation membrane. 16. The composite membrane according to claim 12 being a composite gas separation membrane. 17. A gas separation module comprising a composite membrane according to claim 12 . 18. A gas separation module comprising a composite gas membrane according to claim 14 . 19. A gas separation module comprising a composite gas membrane according to claim 15 . 20. A gas separation module comprising a composite gas membrane according to claim 16 .
