Abstract

The present invention is a class of polyimide membranes wherein the diamine portion of the polymer structure is an alkylated bisaniline. The bridging group of the diamine possesses restricted, rotatable rigid, or low Van Der Waal energy substituents which are orthogonal to the polymer backbone. These polyamide membranes exhibit enhanced gas flux and are useful in various gas separation applications.
