Prepared Matrimid–CNF composite membranes were characterized with X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and mechanical testing techniques. The mechanical properties of the composite membranes increased over that of the pristine polymeric membranes. To develop a broad fundamental understanding of the connection between the composite architecture and gas-transport properties, both the gas-permeability and gas-separation characteristics were evaluated. The gas-transport properties of the Matrimid–CNF composite membrane was measured with a single gas-permeation setup (He, H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 0; bottom: -0.25em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 1px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 0.688em; vertical-align: baseline; background: 0px 0px rgb(249, 249, 249); position: relative; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, &amp;quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&amp;quot;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, &amp;quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);&quot;&gt;, N&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 0; bottom: -0.25em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 1px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 0.688em; vertical-align: baseline; background: 0px 0px rgb(249, 249, 249); position: relative; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, &amp;quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&amp;quot;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, &amp;quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);&quot;&gt;, CH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 0; bottom: -0.25em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 1px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 0.688em; vertical-align: baseline; background: 0px 0px rgb(249, 249, 249); position: relative; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, &amp;quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&amp;quot;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, &amp;quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;and CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 0; bottom: -0.25em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 1px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 0.688em; vertical-align: baseline; background: 0px 0px rgb(249, 249, 249); position: relative; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, &amp;quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&amp;quot;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, &amp;quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);&quot;&gt;) at ambient temperature with the variable-volume method.
