Herein,poly(ethylene glycol) microcapsules(PMC) are synthesized via distillation precipitation polymerization and embedded into the polyetherimide(Ultem■1000) matrix to fabricate MMMs for CO_(2) capture. The PMC exhibits a preferential hollow structure within the Ultem matrix to furnish highways within membrane, and thus achieve high gas permeability. Meanwhile, the favorable affinity of poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)microcapsule with ether oxygen group(EO) towards CO_(2) enhances the CO_(2) solubility selectivity. Such integration of physical and chemical microenvironments in the as-designed PEG microcapsule affords highly enhanced CO_(2) separation performance. Compared to pristine Ultem■1000, the membrane with 2.5 wt% PMC loading exhibits 310% increment in CO_(2) permeability and 22% increment in CO_(2)/N_(2) selectivity,which shows the promising prospects of designing PEG-containing microcapsules as the filler of MMMs for CO_(2) capture.展开更多
