A series of polyimide membranes containing polyether amine (PPO) segment were successfully synthsized by thermal imidization of the poly(amic acid) (PAA) precursors copolymerized of pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) with 4

'
-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA) and amine functionalized polyether amine (
M
n
~2000). The effects of PPO on the microstructure and gas separation property of the resultant membranes were investigated in detail. The results show that the fractional free volume (FFV) of the membranes increases with the content of the PPO. Meanwhile
a micro-phase separation behavior is detected in the resultant membranes with the incorparation of PPO
which can act as the continuous gas transmission channel. As a consequence
the permeability of the membrane increases rapiadly. As the PPO content reaches 65 wt%
the CO
2
permeability is as high as 131.61 Barrer
which is nearly 22 times higher than that of the PMDA/ODA homopolyimide membrane. Moreover
due to the special interaction between the PPO and CO
2
the CO
2
/N
2
selectivity increases from 18.77 for the PMDA/ODA membrane to 30.12 for the copolyimide membrane with 65 wt% PPO. Accordingly
the incorporation of PPO plays an important role in modifying the microstructure and gas separation property for the polyimide membranes.
