The gas permeation stability of an asymmetric polyimide membrane with a thin and defect-free skin layer has been investigated. The polyimide used in this study was synthesized from the fluorinated dianhydride (6FDA) and the aromatic diamine not containing a CF3group. The asymmetric polyimide membranes were prepared by a dry/wet phase inversion, and the apparent skin layer thickness of the asymmetric membrane was 55nm. The gas permeances of O2, N2, CH4, and CO2through the asymmetric membranes at 35°C and at pressures up to 760cmHg have been determined using a high vacuum apparatus. We specifically focused on the CO2permeation stability of the asymmetric polyimide membrane with a 55nm skin layer exposured to a CO2pressure of 760cmHg. The CO2permeances of the asymmetric membrane showed almost constant values during the repeated permeation experiments. Additionally, the13C T1values of the asymmetric membrane repeatedly measured at 760cmHg were quite similar to those for the original asymmetric membrane before the gas permeation experiment. These results indicate that the plasticization of the asymmetric polyimide membrane was not caused by CO2. We postulated that the absence of bulky CF3groups on the aromatic diamine inhibited plasticization of the polyimide by CO2.
