Abstract

A multi-block polymer comprising an oxazolidone prepolymer chain extended with a second compatible prepolymer, the membrane made therefrom and the use of said membrane in aromatics/non-aromatics separations is disclosed. The multi-block polymer comprises an oxazolidone containing prepolymer chain extended with a second compatible prepolymer, said second prepolymer selected from the group of prepolymers produced by combining (a) and (A) diisocyanate with a monomer selected from (B) polyester dianhydride or corresponding tetraacid or diacid-diester, and diamine in an A/B mole ratio ranging from about 2.0 to 1.05, preferably 2.0 to 1.1; (b) an (A) dianhydride or its corresponding tetraacid or diacid-diester with a monomer selected from (B) epoxy, diisocyanate, polyester and diamine in an A/B mole ratio ranging from about 2.0 to 1.05, preferably about 2.0 to 1.1, or (c) an (A) diamine with a monomer selected from (B) epoxy, diisocyanate, dianhydride, or its corresponding tetraacid or diacid-diester in an A/B mole ratio ranging from about 2.0 to 1.05, preferably about 2.0 to 1.1, and mixtures thereof. The membranes made from these multi-block polymers comprising thin dense films of said…
