Abstract

Abstract : The coupling of hollow carbon nanospheres with triblock copolymers is a promising strategy to fabricate mixed‐matrix membranes. This is because the symmetric microporous shells combine with the hollow space to promote gas transport, and the unique soft–rigid molecular structure of triblock copolymers can accommodate a high loading of fillers without a significant loss of mechanical strength.
