| Description | Cucurbit[6]uril (CB6) is a hexameric macro-cyclic compd. self-assembled from an acid-catalyzed condensation of glycoluril and formaldehyde. Permeation and sorption measurements showed much information about the effect of macro-cyclic CB6 on PI membrane transport properties. Growth of CB6 content inside the PI matrix led to almost linear increase of permeability of polyimide membranes for gases or vapors. |
