Physical aging of glassy polymers leads to a decrease in permeability over time when they are used in membranes. This hinders the industrial application of high free volume polymers, such as the archetypal polymer of intrinsic microporosity PIM-1, for membrane gas separation. In thin film composite (TFC) membranes, aging is much more rapid than in thicker self-standing membranes, as rearrangement within the thin active layer is relatively fast. Liquid alcohol treatment, which swells the membrane, is often used in the laboratory to rejuvenate aged self-standing membranes, but this is not easily applied on an industrial scale and is not suitable to refresh TFC membranes because of the risk of membrane delamination. In this work, it is demonstrated that a simple method of storage in an atmosphere of methanol vapor effectively retards physical aging of PIM-1 TFC membranes. The same method can also be utilized to refresh aged PIM-1 TFC membranes, and one-week methanol vapor storage is sufficient to recover most of the original CO2 permeance.
