The dependences of gas-transport behavior on the composition and supramolecular organization of the copolymer are studied. Composition regions and conditions of preparing copolymers combining high permeability coefficients with resistance against nonpolar organic solvents are ascertained. The copolymers demonstrate a high selectivity in the separation of butane from a methane–butane mixture.
