However, efforts on developing promising materials for membrane based gas separation, and control over the crystal growth positions on polymeric hollow fiber membranes still remain key challenges. In this investigation, a new, convenient and scalable room temperature interfacial method for growing MOFs (ZIF-8 and CuBTC) on either the outer or inner side of a polybenzimidazole based hollow fiber (PBI-BuI-HF) membrane surface has been achieved in a controlled manner. This was made possible by the appropriate selection of an immiscible solvent pair and the synthetic conditions. The growth of MOFs on the PBI-BuI-HF membrane by the interfacial method was continuous and showed an appreciable gas separation performance, conveying promise for their applicability.</p>1 aBiswal, Bishnu, P.1 aBhaskar, Anand1 aBanerjee, Rahul1 aKharul, Ulhas, K.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/selective-interfacial-synthesis-metal-organic-frameworks-polybenzimidazole-hollow-fiber-0
