Immersion precipitation of solutions having 15%-30% (w/w) and various
molecular weights of the emeraldine base form of polyaniline in polar
aprotic solvents are shown to form integrally skinned asymmetric
membranes and fibers having skin layers <1 .mu.m thick which exhibit
improved rates of gas transport while preserving good selectivity. These
membranes can be further transformed by an acid doping process after
fabrication to achieve excellent permeation rates and high selectivities
for particular gas separations. Prior to the use of concentrated EB
solutions, the formation of integrally skinned asymmetric membranes was
not possible, since films and fibers made from <5% w/w polyaniline
solutions were found to disintegrate during the IP process.
