MEMBRANES 2023; 13:membranes13050461. [PMID: 37233522 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13050461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
The 6FDA-based network PI has attracted significant attention for gas separation. A facile strategy to tailor the micropore structure within the network PI membrane prepared by the in situ crosslinking method is extremely significant for achieving an advanced gas separation performance. In this work, the 4,4'-diamino-2,2'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid (DCB) or 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) comonomer was incorporated into the 6FDA-TAPA network polyimide (PI) precursor via copolymerization. The molar content and the type of carboxylic-functionalized diamine were varied in order to easily tune the resulting network PI precursor structure. Then, these network PIs containing carboxyl groups underwent further decarboxylation crosslinking during the following heat treatment. Properties involving thermal stabilities, solubility, d-spacing, microporosity, and mechanical properties were investigated. Due to the decarboxylation crosslinking, the d-spacing and the BET surface areas of the thermally treated membranes were increased. Moreover, the content of DCB (or DABA) played a key role in determining the overall gas separation performance of the thermally treated membranes. For instance, after the heating treatment at 450 °C, 6FDA-DCB:TAPA (3:2) showed a large increment of about ~532% for CO2 gas permeability (~266.6 Barrer) coupled with a decent CO2/N2 selectivity~23.6. This study demonstrates that incorporating the carboxyl-containing functional unit into the PI backbone to induce decarboxylation offers a practical approach with which to tailor the micropore structure and corresponding gas transport properties of 6FDA-based network PIs prepared by the in situ crosslinking method.

Abstract
A series of cyclomatrix polyphosphazene films have been prepared by nonaqueous interfacial polymerization (IP) of small aromatic hydroxyl compounds in a potassium hydroxide dimethylsulfoxide solution and hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene in cyclohexane on top of ceramic supports. Via the amount of dissolved potassium hydroxide, the extent of deprotonation of the aromatic hydroxyl compounds can be changed, in turn affecting the molecular structure and permselective properties of the thin polymer networks ranging from hydrogen/oxygen barriers to membranes with persisting hydrogen permselectivities at high temperatures. Barrier films are obtained with a high potassium hydroxide concentration, revealing permeabilities as low as 9.4 × 10-17 cm3 cm cm-2 s-1 Pa-1 for hydrogen and 1.1 × 10-16 cm3 cm cm-2 s-1 Pa-1 for oxygen. For films obtained with a lower concentration of potassium hydroxide, single gas permeation experiments reveal a molecular sieving behavior, with a hydrogen permeance of around 10-8 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 and permselectivities of H2/N2 (52.8), H2/CH4 (100), and H2/CO2 (10.1) at 200 °C.

Abstract
Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes with precise molecular discrimination ability and facile scalability are attractive next-generation membranes for large-scale, energy-efficient gas separations. Here, structurally engineered CMS membranes derived from a tailor-made cross-linkable copolyimide with kinked structure are reported. We demonstrate that combining two features, kinked backbones and cross-linkable backbones, to engineer polyimide precursors while controlling pyrolysis conditions allows the creation of CMS membranes with improved gas separation performance. Our results indicate that the CMS membranes provide a versatile platform for a broad spectrum of challenging gas separations. The gas transport properties of the resulting CMS membranes are interpreted in terms of a model reflecting both molecular sieving Langmuir domains and a disordered continuous phase, thereby providing insight into structure evolution from the cross-linkable polyimide precursor to a final CMS membrane. With this understanding of CMS membrane structure and separation performance, these systems are promising for environmentally friendly gas separations.

Aromatic Polyimide Membranes with tert-Butyl and Carboxylic Side Groups for Gas Separation Applications-Covalent Crosslinking Study. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14245517.

Abstract
A set of aromatic copolyimides was obtained by reaction of 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride (6FDA), and mixtures of the diamines 1,4-bis(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2,5-di-tert-butylbenzene (CF3TBAPB) and 3,5-diamino benzoic acid (DABA). These polymers were characterized and compared with the homopolymer derived from 6FDA and CF3TBAPB. All copolyimides showed high molecular weight values and good mechanical properties. The presence of carboxylic groups in these copolymers allowed their chemical crosslinking by reaction with 1,4-butanediol. Glass transition temperatures (Tg) were higher than 260 °C, showing the non-crosslinked copolyimides had the highest Tg values. Degradation temperature of crosslinked copolyimides was lower than their corresponding non-crosslinked ones. Mechanical properties of all polymers were good, and thus, copolyimide (precursor, and crosslinked ones) films could be tested as gas separation membranes. It was observed that CO2 permeability values were around 100 barrer. Finally, the plasticization resistance of the crosslinked material having a large number of carboxylic groups was excellent.
