Structure and Gas Transport at the Polymer–Zeolite Interface: Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations

“…However, the ultimate success of these advanced membranes depends on material selection and interface defect elimination. Nevertheless, the past decade has witnessed substantial progress both theoretically and experimentally in the selection aspects of these materials for a given application by considering fundamental intrinsic material properties of the individual phases. , On the other hand, interface-related problems such as the formation of nonselective voids, rigidified polymers, and pore blockage are still challenging. Although the polymer–filler interface occupies only a small fraction of the membrane volume, it appears to affect the MMM performance significantly.…”

“…Comparison of the calculated (eq(12)) and extracted (eq(8)) diffusion coefficients in the interface region between the PI and MFI in PI-MFI composite membrane. Effect of zeolite crystal size on interfacial layer propertiesFigure 14(a)-(c) depicts the crystal size dependence of the structure of the polymer near the interface and the gas diffusivity in the interface region.…”
