Abstract
In this work, we explore the use of ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) facilitated by a second-generation Grubbs catalyst (G2) for the development of advanced polymer membranes aimed at CO2 separation. By employing a novel copolymer blend incorporating 4,4'-oxidianiline (ODA), 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA), 1-adamantylamine (AA), and 3,6,9-trioxaundecylamine (TA), along with a CO2-selective poly(ethylene glycol)/poly(propylene glycol) copolymer (Jeffamine2003) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) units, we have synthesized membranes under ambient conditions with exceptional CO2 separation capabilities. The strategic inclusion of PDMS, up to a 20% composition within the PEG/PPG matrix, has resulted in copolymer membranes that not only surpass the 2008 upper limit for CO2/N2 separation but also meet the commercial targets for CO2/H2 separation. Comprehensive analysis reveals that these membranes adhere to the mixing rule and exhibit percolation behavior across the entire range of compositions (0-100%), maintaining robust antiplasticization performance even under pressures up to 20 atm. Our findings underscore the potential of ROMP in creating precisely engineered membranes for efficient CO2 separation, paving the way for their application in large-scale environmental and industrial processes.

Abstract
Mixed matrix materials (MMMs) containing metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles are attractive for membrane carbon capture. Particularly, adding <5 mass % MOFs in polymers dramatically increased gas permeability, far surpassing the Maxwell model's prediction. However, no sound mechanisms have been offered to explain this unusual low-loading phenomenon. Herein, we design an ideal series of MMMs containing polyethers (one of the leading polymers for CO2/N2 separation) and discrete metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) with cage sizes of 2-5 nm. Adding 3 mass % MOP-3 in a polyether increases the CO2 permeability by 100% from 510 to 1000 Barrer at 35 °C because of the increased gas diffusivity. No discernible changes in typical physical properties governing gas transport properties are detected, such as glass transition temperature, fractional free volume, d-spacing, etc. We hypothesize that this behavior is attributed to fractal-like networks formed by highly porous MOPs, and for the first time, we validate this hypothesis using small-angle X-ray scattering analysis.
