Abstract

A new copolymer composition comprising the hard segment of a polyimide and the soft segment of an oligomeric aliphatic polyester. The new polyimide copolymer membranes have exhibited high thermal stability for separation of an aromatic/saturate mixture. These new membranes have higher aromatic/saturate selectivity than polyurethanes.
