Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated from a 25 wt% of polysulfone (PSf) with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) selected as the inorganic filler. The incorporation of 1 wt% to 5 wt% of HNTs in the membrane is promising in improving the performance of the membrane for gas separation due to its barr...
