MIXED MATRIX MEMBRANES INCORPORATING SURFACE-FUNCTIONALIZED MOLECULAR SIEVE NANOPARTICLES

摘要

Mixed matrix membranes that are capable of separation and purification of gas mixtures are disclosed. These membranes comprise polymers that include dispersed therein nanomolecular sieve particles. In a preferred embodiment, the nanomolecular sieve particles contain attached functional groups to prevent their agglomeration.
