Abstract—In the present work, existing permeation models
for mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) are introduced in two
categories. A new permeation model is proposed based on
thermal effective conductivity of composite polymers filled with
particles. Relative permeability of polymer to particle in two
phase models modified with considering interface layer effect
through relative permeability of particle to interfacial layer.
The predicted permeability of the new developed model was
validated with comparing different experimental data and
existing models.
Index Terms—Gas permeation, mixed matrix membrane,
modeling, porous particles.
