The basic difficulty in membrane separations has always been their inherent slowness, resulting in high area requirements. Thus fine‐bore tubing becomes of considerable interest. Studies showed that some materials will expand appreciably and reversibly and gas flow rates which are multiples of those in the unexpanded condition can be obtained.
