Abstract:
... This work reports the permeability of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane and ethylene across ZIF-8/poly(1,4-phenylen ether-ether-sulfone) hybrid membranes containing 0, 0.10, 0.20 and 0.30 weight fractions of ZIF-8. The glass transition temperature is independent on the filler content suggesting that the filler does not affect the polymer chains mobility. The study was car ...

Abstract:
... Good dispersion of modified laponite clay was achieved in polybenzimidazole (PBI) solutions which, when cast and allowed to dry, resulted in homogeneous and transparent composite membranes containing up to 20wt% clay in the polymer. The clay was organically modified using a series of ammonium and pyridinium salts with varying polarity and hydrogen-bonding capacity. Clay modification by ion-exchang ...

3. N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAM) modified cellulose acetate ultrafiltration membranes

Author:
Gorey, Colleen; Escobar, Isabel C.

Journal of membrane science 2011 v.383 no.1-2 pp. 272-279
ISSN:

Subject:
adsorption; ammonium nitrate; artificial membranes; cellulose acetate; ceric ammonium nitrate; desorption; fouling; hydrophilicity; hydrophobicity; phase transition; polymers; temperature; ultrafiltration
Abstract:
... A potentially low fouling membrane was developed by attaching a stimuli-responsive polymer layer on the surface, which offered the potential to collapse or expand the polymer layer with change in temperature. The phase change arose from the existence of a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) such that the polymer precipitated from solution as the temperature was increased. This capability wa ...

Subject:
artificial membranes; polymers; relative humidity; solubility; solvents; temperature; tensile strength
Abstract:
... Poly[2,2′-(m-pyrazolidene)-5,5′-bibenzimidazole] (PPBI) was synthesized via polycondensation reaction of pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylic acid and 3,3′,4,4′-tetraaminobiphenyle (TAB) in polyphosphoric medium. Then the novel proton conducting polymer, butylsulfonated PPBI (BS-PPBI), was synthesized through the ring-opening reaction of 1,4-butanesultone by the reactive N–H groups of PPBI. The solubility of ...

Abstract:
... Polysulfone (PSU) and polyethersulfone (PES) porous membranes; and mixed polymer with nanoparticles TiO₂, were prepared for air humidification. The mechanical properties and morphology of these membranes were studied by Tensile tester and SEM/EDX. The effects of membrane composition and operating factors on humidifier performance were investigated. The results revealed that the membrane compositio ...

Abstract:
... A new approach to fabricate thin film composite (TFC) membranes via interfacial polymerization for forward osmosis (FO) applications has revealed that it is possible to design TFC-FO membranes with fully sponge-like structure and likely anti-fouling characteristics while maintaining a high water flux. Not only does the sulphonated material in the substrate of TFC-FO membranes play the key role to ...
