This paper presents the derivation of carbon membranes from BTDA-TDI/MDI polyimide (PI) prepared via a dip-coating technique on an inorganic tubular support surface, followed by a heat treatment (stabilization and carbonization) under N2 gas flow. In order to enhance the gas separation performance o...
