## Abstract To understand the effects of the hydrophilicity of the support layer on the formation of the active layer and the performance of composite membranes, a support layer was prepared from a polysulfone (PSf) blend with a hydrophilic copolymer, and then its top surface was overcoated with an

β¦ Synopsis
Composite membranes containing a thin-film layer of aromatic polyimides (PI) ensure an advantageous combination of selectivity and permeability in gas separation. A series of rigid-chain PI with different chemical structures were studied as a thin active layer. Composite membranes were prepared by coating a solution of poly-(amic acid) (PAA) and an imidization catalyst on a poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) support with pores filled by decane. The subsequent stage of solid-state catalytic transformation of the PAA/PPO membrane into the PI/PPO membrane determines the specific structure of the PI layer and the transport properties of the PI/PPO composite membranes. The structure of composite membranes was determined by scanning electron microscopy and analyzed in the terms of the resistance model of gas transport in composite membranes.
