TLDR
The empirical upper bound relationship for membrane separation of gases initially published in 1991 has been reviewed with the myriad of data now presently available as mentioned in this paper, which indicates a different solubility selectivity relationship for perfluorinated polymers compared to hydrocarbon/aromatic polymers.

Ultrapermeable, Reverse-Selective Nanocomposite Membranes

TL;DR: It is discovered that physical dispersion of nonporous, nanoscale, fumed silica particles in glassy amorphous poly(4-methyl-2-pentyne) simultaneously and surprisingly enhances both membrane permeability and selectivity for large organic molecules over small permanent gases.
