Gas separation data for polymer membranes has traditionally been shared in the form of Robeson Plots within journal articles. Robeson Plots depict the relationship between gas selectivity and permeability for a given gas pair of interest (e.g., CO<sub>2</sub>/N<sub>2</sub>). For the past two decades, the membrane community has relied on Robeson Plots to benchmark and compare membrane selectivity/permeability data. Unfortunately, the current format of publishing Robeson Plots within journal articles as static figures makes it difficult to compare and share data  We are seeking to overcome these challenges by compiling and creating online repositories for Robeson Plots where researchers can interact with membrane data in new ways including enhanced visualizations, downloading machine-readable datasets, and contributing their own data via crowdsourcing. This poster will explain our initial efforts and how we have incorporated this project into our undergraduate curriculum at The University of Alabama.
