Macromolecules 2024; 57:8187-8201. [PMID: 39219805 PMCID: PMC11363616 DOI: 10.1021/acs.macromol.4c00169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
A series of polyimides (PIs) was synthesized from 6FDA and two o-OH substituted diamines having bulky pendant phenyl, Ph, and trifluoromethyl, CF3, groups as precursors for thermally rearranged polybenzoxazole, TR-PBO, membranes. One diamine had two pendant Ph substituents; in the other, the substituents were Ph and CF3. Applying azeotropic and chemical cyclizations allowed the obtention of four o-hydroxy (o-OH) or/and o-acetoxy (o-OAc) substituted PIs depending on the imidization method. The PIs were labeled as 3Ph-OH, 4Ph-OH, or 3Ph-OAc and 4PH-OAc, respectively. Thermal rearrangements of all four precursors were investigated in the interval from 350 to 450 °C. The conversions to TR-PBO increased with temperature, and almost quantitative conversions were obtained at temperatures close to 450 °C, although o-OH substituted PIs reached conversions slightly higher than those of o-OAc PIs at a given temperature. The TR-polymers' fractional free volume (FFV) also increased with conversion but was higher for the o-OAc substituted precursors. Despite the high TR-PBO conversions, self-supported uniform TR membranes with reasonable mechanical properties were obtained, except for 4Ph-OH. Gas separation behavior of the membranes significantly improved after the thermal treatment, and the final CO2/CH4 permselectivities lay between the 1991 and 2008 Robeson upper bounds. Particularly, TR-membranes derived from o-OAc precursors and with pendant CF3 group demonstrated better gas transport properties with values of P (CO2) = 1121 barrer and αCO2/CH4 = 29 for 3Ph-OAc derived membrane, which positioned it beyond the 2008 upper limit.

Abstract
Membrane-based separation process for unconventional natural gas purification (mainly N2/CH4 separation) has attracted more attention due to its considerable economic benefits. However, the majority of separation membranes at this stage, particularly N2-selective membranes, achieve the desired separation target by mainly relying on the diffusivity-selectivity mechanism. To overcome the limitation of a single mechanism, 2D lamellar MXene membranes with a double selectivity mechanism are prepared to enhance N2 permeance and N2/CH4 selectivity via introducing unsaturated metal sites into MXene, which can form specific interactions with N2 molecules and enhance N2 permeation. The resulting membranes exhibit an inspiring N2/CH4 separation performance with an N2 permeance of 344 GPU and N2/CH4 selectivity of 13.76. The collaboration of the double selectivity mechanism provides a new idea for the development of a novel N2-selective membrane for N2 removal and CH4 purification, which further broadens the application prospects of membrane separation technology in the field of unconventional natural gas purification.

Abstract
Penetrant-induced plasticization has prevented the industrial deployment of many polymers for membrane-based gas separations. With the advent of microporous polymers, new structural design features and unprecedented property sets are now accessible under controlled laboratory conditions, but property sets can often deteriorate due to plasticization. Therefore, a critical understanding of the origins of plasticization in microporous polymers and the development of strategies to mitigate this effect are needed to advance this area of research. Herein, an integrative discussion is provided on seminal plasticization theory and gas transport models, and these theories and models are compared to an exhaustive database of plasticization characteristics of microporous polymers. Correlations between specific polymer properties and plasticization behavior are presented, including analyses of plasticization pressures from pure-gas permeation tests and mixed-gas permeation tests for pure polymers and composite films. Finally, an evaluation of common and current state-of-the-art strategies to mitigate plasticization is provided along with suggestions for future directions of fundamental and applied research on the topic.

New Insights in the Synthesis of High-Molecular-Weight Aromatic Polyamides-Improved Synthesis of Rod-like PPTA. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032734.

Abstract
By employing a variation of the polyamidation method using in situ silylated diamines and acid chlorides, it was possible to obtain a rod-type polyamide: poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA, a polymer used in the high-value-added material Kevlar), with a molecular weight much higher than that obtained with the classical and industrial polyamidation method. The optimization of the method has consisted of using, together with the silylating agent, a mixture of pyridine and a high-pKa tertiary amine. The research was complemented by a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance and molecular simulation studies, which determined that the improvements in molecular weight derive mainly from the formation of silylamide groups in the growing polymer.

Abstract
Biogas and biohydrogen, due to their renewable nature and zero carbon footprint, are considered two of the gaseous biofuels that will replace conventional fossil fuels. Biogas from anaerobic digestion must be purified and converted into high-quality biomethane prior to use as a vehicle fuel or injection into natural gas networks. Likewise, the enrichment of biohydrogen from dark fermentation requires the removal of CO2, which is the main pollutant of this new gaseous biofuel. Currently, the removal of CO2 from both biogas and biohydrogen is carried out by means of physical/chemical technologies, which exhibit high operating costs and corrosion problems. Biological technologies for CO2 removal from biogas, such as photosynthetic enrichment and hydrogenotrophic enrichment, are still in an experimental development phase. In this context, membrane separation has emerged as the only physical/chemical technology with the potential to improve the performance of CO2 separation from both biogas and biohydrogen, and to reduce investment and operating costs, as a result of the recent advances in the field of nanotechnology and materials science. This review will focus on the fundamentals, potential and limitations of CO2 and H2 membrane separation technologies. The latest advances on membrane materials for biogas and biohydrogen purification will be systematically reviewed.

Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14183741.

Abstract
There is a need to understand the permeation flux behavior of polymers exposed to high-pressure and -temperature fluids continuously for long time intervals. This study investigates evidence of structural alterations in polymer specimens as indicators of material aging through the monitoring of transport coefficients at pressure steps from 10 barg to 400 barg and temperatures ranging between 30 °C and 90 °C. The continuous flow permeation methodology is a well-established technique described in the literature for applications from membrane separation processes to polymeric pressure barriers used for complex fluid containment in the oil and gas industry. In this study, a novel methodology has been used that allows the permeating flux of supercritical CO2 and H2 gas through raised-temperature polyethylene and polyvinylidene fluoride films at varying elevated temperatures and pressures to be determined, over timescales of several months using gas chromatography. During these long-term measurements, changes in the test conditions, principally in temperature and stepwise increases in differential gas pressure, were made in order to determine the activation energy for permeation along with the transport coefficients of permeation, diffusion, and sorption. At no time was the polymer film allowed to outgas during the temperature or pressure alterations. The permeation experiments are complemented by differential scanning calorimetry tests to track changes in polymer crystallinity before and after exposure of the specimen to plasticizing gases, which revealed the extent of structural alterations inflicted on the specimen due to high temperature and pressure loads. It is seen that specimens that were exposed to starting high pressures aged more than those that had gradual increases in feed pressure. Furthermore, the relationship between transport coefficients and fractional free volume in the polymer upon exposure to high pressure and temperature conditions is explored. Lastly, the benefit of using fugacity in place of feed pressure for the calculation of the permeability coefficient is discussed. This study contributes to the understanding of the effect of prolonged exposure of the polymeric specimens to CO2 and H2 gas under stepwise pressure and temperature loading on their flux behaviors and crystallinity, and to candidate polyethylene-based specimens for oil field deployment.

Abstract
A set of thermally rearranged mixed matrix membranes (TR-MMMs) was manufactured and tested for gas separation. These membranes were obtained through the thermal treatment of a precursor MMM with a microporous polymer network and an o-hydroxypolyamide,(HPA) created through a reaction of 2,2-bis(3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl)-hexafluoropropane (APAF) and 5′-terbutil-m-terfenilo-3,3″-dicarboxylic acid dichloride (tBTmCl). This HPA was blended with different percentages of a porous polymer network (PPN) filler, which produced gas separation MMMs with enhanced gas permeability but with decreased selectivity. The thermal treatment of these MMMs gave membranes with excellent gas separation properties that did not show the selectivity decreasing trend. It was observed that the use of the PPN load brought about a small decrease in the initial mass losses, which were lower for increasing PPN loads. Regarding the glass transition temperature, it was observed that the use of the filler translated to a slightly lower Tg value. When these MMMs and TR-MMMs were compared with the analogous materials created from the isomeric 5′-terbutil-m-terfenilo-4,4″-dicarboxylic acid dichloride (tBTpCl), the permeability was lower for that of tBTmCl, compared with the one from tBTpCl, although selectivity was quite similar. This fact could be attributed to a lower rigidity as roughly confirmed by the segmental length of the polymer chain as studied by WAXS. A model for FFV calculation was proposed and its predictions compared with those evaluated from density measurements assuming a matrix-filler interaction or ideal independence. It turns out that permeability as a function of FFV for TR-MMMs follows an interaction trend, while those not thermally treated follow the non-interaction trend until relatively high PPN loads were reached.

Abstract
Bottlebrush polymers with flexible backbones and rigid side chains have shown ultrahigh CO2 permeability and plasticization resistance for membrane-based gas separations. To date, this class of polymers has only been studied with polydisperse side chains. Herein, we report gas transport properties of a methoxy (OMe) functionalized polymer synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) with uniform side-chain lengths ranging from n = 2 to 5 repeat units to elucidate the role of both side-chain length and dispersity on gas transport properties and plasticization resistance. As side-chain length increased, both Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and gas permeability increased with minimal losses in gas selectivity. Increased plasticization resistance was also observed with increasing side-chain length, which can be attributed to increased interchain rigidity from longer side chains. Controlling the side-chain length provides an effective strategy to rationally control and optimize the performance of ROMP polymers for CO2-based gas separations.

Abstract
In the next decade, separation science will be an important research topic in addressing complex challenges like reducing carbon footprint, lowering energy cost, and making industrial processes simpler. In industrial chemical processes, particularly in petrochemical operations, separation and product refining steps are responsible for up to 30% of energy use and 30% of the capital cost. Membranes and adsorption technologies are being actively studied as alternative and partial replacement opportunities for the state-of-the-art cryogenic distillation systems. This paper provides an industrial perspective on the application of membranes in industrial petrochemical cracker operations. A gas separation performance figure of merit for propylene/propane separation for different classes of materials ranging from inorganic, carbon, polymeric, and facilitated transport membranes is also reported. An in-house-developed model provided insights into the importance of operational parameters on the overall membrane design.

[PMID: 33803520 PMCID: PMC8003052 DOI: 10.3390/polym13060931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2021] [Revised: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
A hydroxypolyamide (HPA) manufactured from 2,2-bis(3-amino-4-hydroxy phenyl)-hexafluoropropane (APAF) diamine and 5′-terbutyl-m-terphenyl-4,4′′-dicarboxylic acid chloride (tBTpCl), and a copolyimide produced by stochiometric copolymerization of APAF and 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diamine (6FpDA), using the same diacid chloride, were obtained and used as polymeric matrixes in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) loaded with 20% (w/w) of two porous polymer networks (triptycene-isatin, PPN-1, and triptycene-trifluoroacetophenone, PPN-2). These MMMs, and also the thermally rearranged membranes (TR-MMMs) that underwent a thermal treatment process to convert the o-hydroxypolyamide moieties to polybenzoxazole ones, were characterized, and their gas separation properties evaluated for H2, N2, O2, CH4, and CO2. Both TR process and the addition of PPN increased permeability with minor decreases in selectivity for all gases tested. Excellent results were obtained, in terms of the permeability versus selectivity compromise, for H2/CH4 and H2/N2 separations with membranes approaching the 2008 Robeson’s trade-off line. The best gas separation properties were obtained when PPN-2 was used. Finally, gas permeation was characterized in terms of chain intersegmental distance and fraction of free volume of the membrane along with the kinetic diameters of the permeated gases. The intersegmental distance increased after TR and/or the addition of PPN-2. Permeability followed an exponential dependence with free volume and a quadratic function of the kinetic diameter of the gas.

Abstract
Several kinds of polyimide (PI) films stemmed out of 4, 4’–diaminodiphenyl ether, as well as various structurally various aromatic dianhydride, were prepared. The films’ mechanical, dielectric, and dynamic mechanical attributes were put under investigation. According the findings, the PI films’ performance is significantly different as a result of their diverse structure. PI’s dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent of abides by the increasing order below: PMDA-PI>BTDA-PI>BPDA-PI. Moreover, the electric breakdown strength of BTDA-PI (478.90 kV/mm) presents a lot higher value compared to the one PMDA-PI (326.80 kV/mm) and BPDA-PI (357.07 kV/mm). In particular, BTDA-PI film possesses high electric breakdown strength about 478.90 kV/mm. In addition, PI’s glass transition temperature (Tg) are, respectively, 276 °C (BTDA-PI), and 290 °C (BPDA-PI), as well as 302 °C (PMDA-PI). Therefore, in virtue of their various structures and performances, practical applications of PI films can exert significant role in the electronics and microelectronics industries.

Abstract
Membrane-based separation technologies offer a cost-effective alternative to many energy-intensive gas separation processes, such as distillation. Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) composed of polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted a great deal of attention for being promising systems to manufacture durable and highly selective membranes with high gas fluxes and high selectivities. Therefore, understanding gas transport through these MMMs is of significant importance. There has been longstanding speculation that the gas diffusion behavior at the interface formed between the polymer matrix and MOF particles would strongly affect the global performance of the MMMs due to the potential presence of nonselective voids or other defects. To shed more light on this paradigm, we have performed microsecond long concentration gradient-driven molecular dynamics (CGD-MD) simulations that deliver an unprecedented microscopic picture of the transport of H2 and CH4 as single components and as a mixture in all regions of the PIM-1/ZIF-8 membrane, including the polymer/MOF interface. The fluxes of the permeating gases are computed and the impact of the polymer/MOF interface on the H2/CH4 permselectivity of the composite membrane is clearly revealed. Specifically, we show that the poor compatibility between PIM-1 and ZIF-8, which manifests itself by the presence of nonselective void spaces at their interface, results in a decrease of the H2/CH4 permselectivity for the corresponding composite membrane as compared to the performances simulated for PIM-1 and ZIF-8 individually. We demonstrate that CGD-MD simulations based on an accurate atomistic description of the polymer/MOF composite is a powerful tool for characterization and understanding of gas transport and separation mechanisms in MMMs.

Abstract
With a wide range of applications, from energy and environmental engineering, such as in gas separations and water purification, to biomedical engineering and packaging, glassy polymeric materials remain in the core of novel membrane and state-of the art barrier technologies. This review focuses on molecular simulation methodologies implemented for the study of sorption and diffusion of small molecules in dense glassy polymeric systems. Basic concepts are introduced and systematic methods for the generation of realistic polymer configurations are briefly presented. Challenges related to the long length and time scale phenomena that govern the permeation process in the glassy polymer matrix are described and molecular simulation approaches developed to address the multiscale problem at hand are discussed.

Abstract
Minimising the transport of corrosive reactants such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and chloride ions to the surfaces of carbon steel pipes by the use of polymer barrier layers is of major interest in the oil and gas sector. In these applications, there is a requirement to assess the performance of these barrier layers although it is difficult to perform long-term predictions of barrier properties from the results of short-term measurements. New methodologies have been successfully developed to study the permeability of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) through polymer layers under variable conditions of elevated temperatures of 100 °C and pressures of the order of 400 barg. In situ variation of the temperature and the inlet pressure of the gas (or gas mixture) allowed the activation energy and pressure dependence of the permeability to be determined without outgassing of the specimen. These methodologies have been applied to the measurement of the permeability of moulded polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) to supercritical CO2 in the presence of H2S. The diffusion coefficients of sodium chloride and potassium chloride through both PPS and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) at ambient temperature and pressure have also been measured.

Abstract
Many forward-looking clean-energy technologies hinge on the development of scalable and efficient membrane-based separations. Ongoing investment in the basic research of microporous materials is beginning to pay dividends in membrane technology maturation. Specifically, improvements in membrane selectivity, permeability, and durability are being leveraged for more efficient carbon capture, desalination, and energy storage, and the market adoption of membranes in those areas appears to be on the horizon. Herein, an overview of the microporous materials chemistry driving advanced membrane development, the clean-energy separations employing them, and the theoretical underpinnings tying membrane performance to membrane structure across multiple length scales is provided. The interplay of pore architecture and chemistry for a given set of analytes emerges as a critical design consideration dictating mass transport outcomes. Opportunities and outstanding challenges in the field are also discussed, including high-flux 2D molecular-sieving membranes, phase-change adsorbents as performance-enhancing components in composite membranes, and the need for quantitative metrologies for understanding mass transport in heterophasic materials and in micropores with unusual chemical interactions with analytes of interest.

Abstract
We describe herein the state of the art following the last 8 years of research into aromatic polyamides, wholly aromatic polyamides or aramids. These polymers belong to the family of high performance materials because of their exceptional thermal and mechanical behavior. Commercially, they have been transformed into fibers mainly for production of advanced composites, paper, and cut and fire protective garments. Huge research efforts have been carried out to take advantage of the mentioned characteristics in advanced fields related to transport applications, optically active materials, electroactive materials, smart materials, or materials with even better mechanical and thermal behavior.
