Membranes are versatile materials, capable of achieving much in a small package. They have been widely explored for CO2 capture applications to enhance capture performance. However, conventional membrane synthesis employs toxic solvents and fossil-derived polymers, raising questions in the net environmental impact of membrane-based processes. Bio-based polymers such as PLA, present as a potential base polymer for the synthesis of sustainable membranes.
