Abstract
Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes have emerged as attractive gas membranes due to their tunable pore structure and consequently high gas separation performances. In particular, polyimides (PIs) have been considered as promising CMS precursors because of their tunable structure, superior gas separation performance, and excellent thermal and mechanical strength. In the present work, polyphosphoric acid (PPA) was employed as both cross-linker and porogen, it created pores within the PI polymeric matrix, while it also effectively acting as a cross-linker to regulate the ultramicropores of the CMS membranes, thus simultaneously improving both permeability and selectivity of the CMS membranes. By employing PI/PPA hybrid with PPA content of 5 wt % as a precursor, the obtained CMS membrane exhibited a CO2 and He permeability of 1378.3 Barrer and 1431.4 Barrer, respectively, which was an approximately 10-fold increase compared to the precursor membrane. Under optimized conditions, the CO2/CH4 and He/CH4 selectivity of the obtained CMS membrane reached 81.5 and 89.9, respectively, which was 278% and 307% higher than that of the pristine PI membrane. In addition, the membrane exhibited good long-term stability during a one-week continuous test. This study clearly denoted PPA can be used for precisely tailoring the ultramicroporosity of CMS membranes.

Abstract
Presently, excessive carbon dioxide emissions represent a critical environmental challenge. Thus, urgent efforts are required to develop environmentally friendly and low-energy technologies for carbon dioxide treatment. In this case, membrane separation technology stands out as a promising avenue for CO2 separation, with selective membrane materials of high permeability playing a pivotal role in this process. Herein, we categorize CO2 separation membranes into three groups: inorganic membranes, organic membranes, and emerging membranes. Moreover, representative high-performance membranes are introduced and their synthesis methods, gas separation performances, and applications are examined. Furthermore, a brief analysis of the challenges encountered by carbon dioxide separation membrane materials is provided together with a discussion on the future research direction. It is expected that this review will provide some potential insights and guidance for the future development of CO2 separation membranes, which can promote their development.

Abstract
Translating carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes into highly scalable hollow fiber geometry with ultra-thin selective layer (<1 µm) for gas separation remains as great challenge. The porous support layer of precursor hollow fiber membranes is prone to collapse during pyrolysis, which induces thick skin layer (15-50 µm) of CMS hollow fiber membranes. Here, a novel strategy is present to obtain an ultra-thin selective skin layer by carbonization of hollow fiber membranes with porous skin. P84-based defect-free CMS hollow fiber membranes with ultra-thin selective skin layer (0.9 µm) for gas separation are prepared without any coating or complex chemical pretreatment. Compared with the carbon membranes derived from defect-free fibers, the H2 permeance (93.9 GPU) of CMS membranes derived from the porous fibers increases ≈1353% with comparable selectivity of H2/CH4 (143) and higher H2/N2 (120). Furthermore, the porous fibers are pre-aged near the Tg in N2 conditions before carbonization, and the H2 permeance of the derived CMS hollow fiber membranes reached 147 GPU (increased 2180%). It is a new facile way to prepare CMS hollow fiber membranes with ultra-thin selective layer by porous fibers, demonstrating its versatile potential in gas separation or organic liquids separation.

Abstract
With the increasing global demand for energy, renewable and sustainable biogas has attracted considerable attention. However, the presence of various gases such as methane, carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen, and hydrogen sulfide in biogas, and the potential emission of acid gases, which may adversely influence the environment, limits the efficient application of biogas in many fields. Consequently, researchers have focused on the upgrade and purification of biogas to eliminate impurities and obtain high-quality and high-purity biomethane with an increased combustion efficiency. In this context, the removal of CO2 gas, which is the most abundant contaminant in biogas, is of significance. Compared to conventional biogas purification processes such as water scrubbing, chemical absorption, pressure swing adsorption, and cryogenic separation, advanced membrane separation technologies are simpler to implement, easier to scale, and incur lower costs. Notably, hollow fiber membranes enhance the gas separation efficiency and decrease costs because their large specific surface area provides a greater range of gas transport. Several reviews have described biogas upgrading technologies and gas separation membranes composed of different materials. In this review, five commonly used commercial biogas upgrading technologies, as well as biological microalgae-based techniques are compared, the advantages and limitations of polymeric and mixed matrix hollow fiber membranes are highlighted, and methods to fabricate and modify hollow fiber membranes are described. This will provide more ideas and methods for future low-cost, large-scale industrial biogas upgrading using membrane technology.

Abstract
The synthesis of poly(methyhydrosiloxane) (PMHS) and N,N'-bis(3-allyl)pyromellitic diimide was optimized for O2/N2 separation. The membrane exhibits excellent mechanical and thermal properties and shows an O2/N2 selectivity of up to 4.44 with an O2 permeability of 31.0 Barrer; compared with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and pure polyimide (PI) membranes, the separation selectivity shows a 107% increase for PDMS, and the permeation shows a 660% increase for pure PI. The obtained results were well above the ones reported on the literature for similar conditions opening the door for the preparation of a stable polysiloxane (PMHS-I) gas separation membrane with extraordinary O2/N2 separation performance.

Abstract
Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes have been developed to replace or support energy-intensive cryogenic distillation for olefin/paraffin separation. Olefin and paraffin have similar molecular properties, but can be separated effectively by a CMS membrane with a rigid, slit-like pore structure. A variety of polymer precursors can give rise to different outcomes in terms of the structure and performance of CMS membranes. Herein, for olefin/paraffin separation, the CMS membranes derived from a number of polymer precursors (such as polyimides, phenolic resin, and polymers of intrinsic microporosity, PIM) are introduced, and olefin/paraffin separation properties of those membranes are summarized. The effects from incorporation of inorganic materials into polymer precursors and from a pyrolysis process on the properties of CMS membranes are also reviewed. Finally, the prospects and future directions of CMS membranes for olefin/paraffin separation and aging issues are discussed.

Abstract
A series of UV-curable hybrid composite blends containing a carboxylic acid functionalized polyimidewith varying amounts of high molecular weight (~1 K) PEG-grafted ladder-structured polysilsesquioxanes copolymerized with methacryl groups were fabricated and their structural, thermal, mechanical, and surface properties characterized. At a composite weight ratio of polyimide above 50 wt.%, a stark shift from amorphous to crystalline polyethylene glycol (PEG) phases were observed, accompanied by a drastic increase in both surface moduli and brittleness index. Moreover, fabricated composites were shown to have a wide range water contact angle, 9.8°-73.8°, attesting to the tunable surface properties of these amphiphilic hybrid polymer composites. The enhanced mechanical properties, combined with the utility of tunable surface hydrophilicity allows for the possible use of these hybrid polymer composites to be utilized as photosensitive polyimide negative photoresists for a myriad of semiconductor patterning processes.
