The loading of ZIF-8 in the polyimide phase were varied from 5 to 20 wt. The structural properties of the resultant membranes were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) Spectroscopy. The characterization results showed that excellent compatibility and good distribution of ZIF-8 in 6FDA-durene polyimide phase were observed even at higher ZIF-8 loading up to 20 wt. © 2006-2016 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN). publisher: Asian Research Publishing Network date: 2016 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Jusoh, N. and Yeong, Y.F. and Lau, K.K. and Shariff, A.M.
