GOVERNMENT SUPPORT This invention was made with government support under DE-FE0032352 awarded by U.S. Department of Energy. The government has certain rights in the invention. BACKGROUND Norbornyl benzocyclobutene (NBC) polymer membranes have been demonstrated to provide exceptional fluid separation performance through permeation experiments performed on applications, and may also require long term (>150 days) aging in the form of curing before selectivity for fluid separation can be observed. Adapting NBC polymer membranes to different thin film morphologies such as hollow fibers can offer additional advantages in efficiency for fluid separation.

In further aspects, provided herein are methods preparing the composite membranes of the disclosure, optionally wherein said methods comprise: providing a support mixture comprising a support polymer precursor, a first solvent, and a second solvent, the support mixture having a first solvent:second solvent ratio; contacting the support mixture with a substrate, thereby forming a nascent support; degassing the nascent support, the thereby forming a mesoporous support; spinning the mesoporous support into a hollow fiber; washing and cross-linking the hollow fiber; coating the hollow fiber with the selective solution, thereby forming the hollow fiber composite membrane.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.1 shows a diagram of the apparatus used for spinning the substrate, as described in Example 3. FIG.2 shows a diagram of the apparatus used for coating the substrate, as described in Example 5. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Norbornyl benzocyclobutene polymers have highly rigid and contorted backbone, preventing the efficient packing of polymer chains in the solid state and leading to the formation of angstrom-sized pores in the polymer matrix. By forming the norbornyl benzocyclobutene polymers into membranes, the resulting pores can be leveraged for size-selective molecular separations (WO2021101659A3). The exceptional gas separation performance of norbornyl benzocyclobutene polymer membranes have been demonstrated in permeation experiments ofthick (>5 um) films (Lai et al. Science 2022, 375 (6587), 1390-1392). After aging of the polymerfilms, H2 / CH4selectivity of >600 was demonstrated in pure-gas permeation experiments, surpassing the performance of virtually all solution processable polymeric membranes. Additionally, high-pressure CO2 / CH4 mixed-gas permeation experiments demonstrated FH13006786.1 Attorney Docket No.: OSL-00525 selectivity >50. Norbornyl benzocyclobutene polymer membranes also has exceptional separation performance for other industrially relevant gas pairs such as O2 / N2, H2 / N2, and H2 / CO2. While thick polymer films can be excellent for understanding fundamental polymer properties, they are impractical for industrial applications due to their low flux. Transport resistance of membranes is generally proportional to the thickness of the selective layer. The low permeance of thick films means that much larger membrane areas would be required to achieve a certain throughput, greatly increasing membrane capital expenses. For industrial applications, previous work demonstrated that long-term aging (> 150 days) is required for thick films of norbornyl benzocyclobutene polymer membranes to achieve the high selectivity reported. To address both of the above challenges, provided herein is a general method for the fabrication of thin-film composite (TFC) membranes with norbornyl benzocyclobutene polymers as the selective layer. Even without long-term aging of the selective layer, the thin-film composite membranes have gas selectivity exceeding those previously reported for aged thick films. Hollow fiber polymer membranes have several important advantages over “flat-sheet” membranes for gas separations, including, for example, low production cost, high area packing density, high effective surface area, increased mechanical flexibility, mechanical self-support, and relative ease of production at scale. In certain embodiments, the hollow fiber has an outer diameter of about 200-800 microns. In further embodiments, the hollow fiber has an inner diameter of about 50-400 microns. In further embodiments, the hollow fiber has a fiber length of about 100 meters or less.

EXAMPLES The invention now being generally described, it will be more readily understood by reference to the following examples which are included merely for purposes of illustration of certain aspects and embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the invention. Example 1: Support Dope Preparation In a 4L glass jar with a screw top lid, 48-55 wt% NMP and 9-12 wt% PEG400 were combined and stirred at ~500 rpm. To this jar, 35-40 wt% PEI (polyetherimide, e.g., Ultem 1000) was added, and the stirring was increased to 1000 rpm. After approximately one hour, once the solution was viscous and the jar was hot, the stirring was increased to about 1500 rpm. Example 2: Support Dope Degassing The glass jar in which the support dope was prepared (see Example 1) was sealed with paraffin around the cap. The jar was then placed in a metal container or aluminum tray, and heated in the oven at about 60 °C until the dope was clear and no more bubbles were visible. Example 3: Spinning of Substrate FH13006786.1 Attorney Docket No.: OSL-00525 The apparatus used for spinning the substrate is shown in FIG.1. The washing tank on the spinning apparatus was filled with deionized water. The degassed dope from Example 2 was poured into the dope tank, which was then secured with a C clamp. If required, the dope was heated to 60 °C for additional degassing. A clean spinneret was installed in the spinneret housing, and was connected to the bore fluid line and the dope line. The dope tank temperature was increased to 70 °C for spinning, and the spinneret block was heated to 90 °C. The bore fluid tank was filled with 1 L of NMP / water bore fluid. The bore fluid tank and dope tank valves were switched to the upstream position to their respective pumps. The take up bath heater was set to 50 °C. Rollers A, B, and C were set to 35, 36, and 37 rpm, respectively. The bore fluid pump was turned on and set to 30 rpm. Once the spinneret line was producing a steady stream of bore fluid without bubbles (the speed of flow can be temporarily increased to clear any bubbles), the dope pump was turned on and set to 15 rpm. The HF coming out of the spinneret was strung onto each roller without breaking it, and it was further strung on the tension controller, followed by the bobbin. The dope flow, bore fluid composition, bore fluid speed, spinneret air gap, roller speed, and tension control were adjusted as needed. Spinning Parameters: Air Gap (in): 1 to 10 Dope Flow (RPM): 20 -55 Bore Flow (RPM): 10-35 Bore Composition (NMP / H2O)%: 0 / 100% - 85 / 15% Dope Tank Temperature ( C): 60-90 Spinneret Temp (C): 70 – 90 Coagulation Bath Temperature (C): 25 – 60 Extraction Bath Temperature (C): 25-90 Take-up Bath Temperature (C): 25-60 Spinning Speed (RPM): 20 – 100 FH13006786.1 Attorney Docket No.: OSL-00525 Example 4: Procedure for Washing and Cross-Linking Spun Substrate Following the spinning described in Example 3, the substrate was washed with solvent and crosslinked by subsequent washing in hot water, isopropanol, and hexane. The substrate was then dried, and subsequently washed with methanol, hot water, isopropanol, and then hexane. The substrate was then dried again before coating (see Example 5). Example 5: Procedure for Coating Substrate The apparatus used for coating the substrate is shown in FIG. 2. The crosslinked substrate was first strung up and dried in the drying tower. The fiber was then coated with the coating solution in beaker 1. Next, the fiber was dried in coating tower 1, and then coated with the coating solution in beaker 2. Finally, the coated fiber was dried in coating tower 2, and collected in the take-up winder. Coating Solution concentration: Selective polymer Solution: 0.1w% to 3 w% Overcoating solution: 0.1w% to 1.5w% Example 6: Permeation Experiments Experiments were performed on a constant-volume variable pressure apparatus at 35°C and 15 psi upstream pressure. The thin-film composite membranes were masked with epoxy on a brass support and degassed under high vacuum at 35°C for 1 h. The permeance, P, of gasses were determined using the following equation: where is the downstream volume, is the upstream pressure, is the average downstream pressure calculated in the time interval considered, is the exposed area of the membrane, and in downstream pressure at steady-state permeation and when the system is sealed, respectively. Ideal gas pair selectivity for gases A and B (A / B) are defined to be , where and are the permeances of gases A and B, respectively.
