In this study, MMMs comprised of blend rubbery block copolymers of polyether block amide (Pebax-1657) with a glassy polyethersulfone (PES) polymer and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized by dry phase inversion method and explored further by gas permeability test. Pebax-1657/PES/MWCNTs membrane resulted in an increased permeability as well as CO2/CH4 selectivity. The Pebax-1657/PES polymer blend MMM with 10wt of MWCNTs has shown the most superior performance of CO2 permeability, CH4 permeability and CO2/CH4 selectivity in comparison with the pure Pebax-1657 resulted in 66.3 and 11.6 difference respectively. {\^A}{\copyright} 2020 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland.} }
