However, fabrication of ideal MMMs is practically challenging as the dispersion of inorganic phase into the polymer may produce polymeric-inorganic interfacial defects at the vicinity of the polymer matrix. For instance, the inorganic phase may cause interfacial void, polymer chain rigidification or partial pore blockage on the overall MMMs. Since there are only few studies that specifically focus on the issues of the interfacial morphology of MMMs, therefore, the present study provides brief description of the aforementioned interfacial (non-ideal) defects of MMMs and summarizes the techniques used to repair the interfacial defects for enhanced gas separation in MMMs. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84914164795&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.625.653&partnerID=40&md5=2f3263eef698b233a8ad253cfca66c79 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.625.653 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 625 pagerange: 653-656 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038351818 issn: 16609336 citation: Shimekit, B. and Shariff, A. and Mukhtar, H. and Bustam, A. and Elkhalifah, A.E.I. and Ullah, S. and Riaz, N.
