Abstract

Novel polyimide gas separation membranes and the process of using such membranes to separate gases are disclosed. The polyimides are formed from rigid aromatic dianhydrides and aromatic diamines that contain sulfonic acid, salified sulfonic acid, or sulfonic ester groups. Methods of preparing improved composite gas separation membranes from the sulfonated polyimides of this invention are disclosed.
