“…In this context, the design of new membrane materials with both high permeability and permselectivity is highly desirable. In designing such polymers for gas permeation study, attention is directed to the introduction of bulky pendant groups, cardo non-coplanar or asymmetric moieties and ether linkages, and so forth, into the polymer main chain [65,[104][105][106]. However, polymers with bulky groups inhibit interchain packing (i.e., increase FFV) and restrict rotational mobility (i.e., rigidity increase) around the flexible linkages, which finally imparts an improvement in both permeability and permselectivity [96,[98][99][100][101].…”
