However, efforts are doing to improve the permeability and selectivity of such membranes.  In this study made membrane was made by using the solution molding and combining the percentage of 80 to 20 for polyether block amide/poly vinyl alcohol and carbon Nano tube with the amount of 0.5,1 and 2 percent of weight is used. Morphology and structure of the membrane made by TGA, FE-SEM, XRD and FTIR were checked.  Measuring the amount of permeability of the built membranes was done by using constant pressure-variable volume method.Total results showed that with the increase of pressure up to 8 bars, the amount of permeability of carbon dioxide and methane gases increases and the maximum amount of permeability for carbon dioxide and methane gases respectively are 4w6 and 36.44 bar.  The amount of selectivity for binary gases of carbon dioxide- methane increases with the increase of the amount of nanoparticle and the maximum amount in membrane contains 2percent of carbon nanotube and 8bar pressure with the amount of 11.69.
