A composition includes a first polymer having monomers each containing an imidazole group, and a second polymer, the first and second polymers being a polymer blend. The first polymer, the second polymer, or both may be cross-linked. The carbonized composition, polymeric and carbon membranes (either in the form of a flat sheet or a hollow fiber) made from the composition are also described. The polymeric and carbon membranes can be used to separate and purify gases or liquids |
