The preparation, characterization and gas separation properties of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were obtained from polyimide capped with ionic liquid and blended with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The synthesized MOF was amine functionalized to produce UiO-66-NH, and its amino group has a higher affinity for CO. Mixed matrix membranes exhibited good membrane forming ability, heat resistance and mechanical properties. The polyimide membrane exclusively capped by ionic liquid exhibited good permselectivity of 74.1 for CO/CH, which was 6.2 times that of the pure polyimide membrane. It is worth noting that MMM blended with UiO-66-NH demonstrated the highest ideal selectivity for CO/CH (95.1) with a CO permeability of 7.61 Barrer, which is close to the 2008 Robeson upper bound. The addition of UiO-66-NH and ionic liquid enhanced the permselectivity of MMMs, which may be one of the promising technologies for high performance CO/CH gas separation.

Emerging contaminants are a matter of growing concern for environmental and human health and safety, requiring efficient and affordable sensing platforms. Laser-induced graphene (LIG) is a novel material with a 3D porous graphene structure that can be fabricated in a simple one-step fabrication process. However, most LIG-based works in electrochemical sensors are limited to polyimide (PI)-based platforms, thus limiting the purview of properties of LIG dependent on the substrate-laser interaction.

Polyimide-based triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) capable of energy harvesting in harsh environments (high temperature and high humidity) have been extensively studied. However, most polyimide-based TENGs have the disadvantages of poor air permeability and poor softness. In this study, a core-shell yarn with good air permeability, softness, and high electric output performance was successfully prepared by conjugate electrospinning.

Polyimide membranes have long been of great interest in the battery industries due to their outstanding thermal stability and flame retardancy. However, the preparation of polyimide membranes with ideal pore structure and excellent lithium-ion transference remains a challenge. In this study, we reported for the first time, that a nano-porous fluorinated and partially carboxylated polyimide/cellulose composite membrane was successfully synthesized by selected monomers and prepared by thermal imidization, phase separation, and alkaline hydrolysis method.

The integration of nanomaterials into the textile industry has significantly advanced the development of high-performance fabrics, offering enhanced properties such as UV blocking, fire resistance, breathability, hydrophobicity, antimicrobial activity, and dust rejection. In this context, our research explores the development and characterization of electrospun membranes composed of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and various polyimides (PIs (1-6)), focusing on their application in protective clothing. The combination of phosphorus-containing polyimides and PEEK, along with the electrospinning process, enhances the distinctive properties of both PEEK and polyimides, leading to composite membranes that stand out according to key parameters essential for maintaining physiological balance.
