| Description | Threatening levels of anthropogenic greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), pose great environmental, economic and operational impacts to the earth. Hence, the reduction of CO2 content in gas streams and its emission to the atmosphere seems inevitable (Ismail and Mansourizadeh, 2010). Membrane contactors, which are designed to absorb CO2, are a newly devised apparatus with a solid, microporous and hydrophobic membrane. Membrane contactors have drawn considerable attention due to their superior characteristics compared to conventional methods such as high surface area, no flooding, loading, entrainment and modularity. Nevertheless, the membrane contactors suffer from some drawbacks. For instance, the membrane itself during the process causes an additional resistance to the overall mass transport that becomes more significant when a fraction of membrane pores is filled with liquid absorbent (Hashemifard et al., 2011). Therefore, there is a need to fabricate membranes with low mass transfer resistance (high porosity) and high wetting resistance (high hydrophobicity). A number of methods have been proposed to enhance the membrane hydrophobicity and reduce the wettability, which dispersing small fillers throughout a polymer called mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have presented an interesting approach. Moreover, the organic/inorganic combination is proved to enhance thermal, chemical and mechanical stability of polymeric membranes (Drioli et al., 2006; Sridhar et al., 2007).
