“…Therefore, specifically for membrane material science, the stability of gas separation properties in time and the effect of preparation technique and operation mode of the polymer membrane (film) on its gas separation characteristics are very important issues [ 1 ]. As a rule, polymer membranes are made out of polymer solutions, thus gas separation properties are sensitive to solvent type and polymer solution concentration [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ], presence of residual solvent, and method of its removal [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Thermodynamic nonequilibrium state of glassy amorphous polymers leads to a change in nonequilibrium free volume and consequently gas separation properties of polymer membranes during exploitation due to physical aging [ 1 , 9 , 10 ] or plasticization with a separated component [ 1 , 11 ].…”
