HPA is 6FCl-APAF was loaded with a PPN synthetized, by us, by combining triptycene (TRP) and trifluoroacetophenone (TFAP). Mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of the membranes have been determined.CO2/CH4 selectivity of MMMs decreased slightly both when the PPN load was augmented and when thermal rearrangement took place. The changes in selectivity can be attributed mostly to solubility effects for β-TR-MMMs and to diffusive effects for the MMM from neat HPA. CO2 and CH4 permeabilities increased to the 2008 Robesońs upper bond for an optimal 30% PPN load both before and after thermal rearrangement. These relatively good permselectivities are explained in terms of compaction, rigidity, fractional free volumes and filling-matrix interactions.
