MEMBRANES INCLUDING POLYSILOXANE-POLY(ALKYLENE OXIDE) COPOLYMERS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides membranes including a cured product of a silicone composition. The silicone composition includes a silicone-polyether copolymer having curable silicon-bonded groups. The membrane is either unsupported or supported on a porous substrate. The present invention also provides methods of using the membranes, including methods of using the membranes for separation of gases such as, for example, carbon dioxide from mixtures including carbon dioxide and methane.
