The performance of silica-polyimide hybrid membranes has been investigated for gas separation processes. The dope solution consisted of polyimide resin dissolved in NMP and silica sols at various weight percentages. The silica sols were prepared using a sol-gel process and the flat-sheet silica-poly...
