聚苯醚的溴化及其对富氧性能的影响

利用亲电反应及自由基反应分别对聚苯醚进行了不同程度的溴化。测定了不同温度下对O_2和N_2的透过率及相应的玻璃化转变温度和密度。发现苯环上的溴化有利于提高O_2和N_2的透过率,而选择性基本不变。甲基上的溴化大大提高了O_2、N_2的选择性,但透过率下降较多。苯环上溴含量与Tg呈很好的线性关系,密度亦随溴含量的增加而增加。透过率与温度的关系符合Arrhenius方程。溴化后的聚苯醚其透过活化能略有下降,并计算了溴化聚苯醚的摩尔自由体积和摩尔内聚能,发现其比值越大,O_2、N_2的透过率越大。

Gas transport properties of soluble poly(amide imide)s

The influence of the molecular structure of five soluble poly(amide imide)s (PAI)s on their gas transport properties for carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, and methane has been studied. Permeabilities, diffusivities, and solubilities were determined by time lag measurements and correlated to chain packing and mobility as well as to polymer gas interaction. The PAIs were characterized by small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering. Molar masses and polymerization degrees were measured by light scattering. Additionally, glass transition temperatures, densities, and persistence lengths were determined. Pressure‐ and temperature‐dependent gas transport measurements have been done. It was found that the permeability is increasing with the diffusion coefficient which can be related to the fractional free volume. PAIs containing cardo diamines show higher diffusivities and permeabilities than poly(amide imide)s containing linear aromatic diamines due to higher fractional free volumes. The solubilities for PAIs containing the same imide compound correlate with the molar cohesive energy density. The exchange of hydrogen to fluorine atoms at one aromatic ring of the diamine increases the fractional free volume and cohesive energy density and, in consequence, the diffusion and solubility coefficient. Arrhenius behavior was observed for temperature dependence and decreasing permeability with increasing pressure. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 37: 2183–2193, 1999     

Effects of substituent groups of polyimides on sorption and diffusion of gases

Sorption rate curves of CO₂, N₂, and He gases below 1 atm were measured for polyimide films prepared from benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) with 3,5-diaminotoluene trifluoride (DATF), 2,4-diaminotoluene (DAT), m-phenylenediamine (MPD), and diaminobenzoic acid (DABA). The molecular structures of these four polyimides differ only in the substituent groups of the diamine structure. These polyimides exhibit dualmode type sorption isotherms for carbon dioxide that are concave to the pressure axis, typical of glassy polymer/gas system. The apparent diffusion coefficients below 1 atm pressure of carbon dioxide for this series of compounds decrease in the order: BTDA-DATF > BTDA-DAT > BTDA-MPD > BTDA-DABA. A linear relation between the logarithm of the apparent diffusion coefficient and the reciprocal of free volume, calculated by the method of Bondi using density data, is found for these polyimides. However, this tendency is not observed for the other two gases. The activation energies of the apparent diffusion coefficients at 20 cmHg pressure of carbon dioxide increase with increasing cohesive energy density of the polyimides. The energy per mole of free volume elements in a liquidlike structure in each cohesive energy density may be equated to the activation energy and used to calculate the free volume. The values from the activation energy are almost the same as those from Bondi's method.     

The correlation between free volume and gas separation properties in high molecular weight poly(methyl methacrylate) membranes

Poly(methyl methacrylate) membranes of different fractional free volume (FFV) were prepared by dry casting from different solvents. Free volume data were determined by means of Bondi method and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). It was found that both the boiling point and the solubility parameter of casting solvent affect the membrane’s free volume. It was believed that the difference in free volume was arisen from the difference in polymer packing.The gas permeability is higher when membranes are cast from higher molecular weight PMMA. But the plasticizing effect of CO₂ is less serious compared with the low molecular weight one. The high molecular weight PMMA membrane also has an extremely high O₂/N₂ selectivity, indicating its high structure uniformity. These results indicate that membranes made from polymer of higher molecular weight have the advantages of high permeability, gas selectivity and are less sensitive to CO₂ plasticization. The intrinsic gas transport properties such as the permeability, solubility and diffusivity of O₂, N₂, and CO₂ are measured or calculated. The effects of fractional free volume on membrane gas separation properties were investigated. It was found that the fractional free volume had no definite effects on gas solubility, but the gas permeability and diffusivity increased accordingly to the measured free volume.     

Transport of organic vapors through poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne)

Poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) [PTMSP], a high-free-volume glassy polymer, has the highest gas permeability of any known synthetic polymer. In contrast to conventional, low-free-volume, glassy polymers, PTMSP is more permeable to large, condensable organic vapors than to permanent gases. The organic-vapor/permanent-gas selectivity of PTMSP based on pure gas measurements is low. In organic-vapor/permanent-gas mixtures, however, the selectivity of PTMSP is much higher because the permeability of the permanent gas is reduced dramatically by the presence of the organic vapor. For example, in n-butane/methane mixtures, as little as 2 mol% n-butane (relative n-butane pressure 0.16) lowers the methane permeability 10-fold from the pure methane permeability. The result is that PTMSP shows a mixed-gas n-butane/methane selectivity of 30. This selectivity is the highest ever observed for this mixture and is completely unexpected for a glassy polymer. In addition, the gas mixture n-butane permeability of PTMSP is considerably higher than that of any known polymer, including polydimethylsiloxane, the most vapor-permeable rubber known. PTMSP also shows high mixed-gas selectivities and vapor permeabilities for the separation of chlorofluorocarbons from nitrogen. The unusual vapor permeation properties of PTMSP result from its very high free volume - more than 20% of the total volume of the material. The free volume elements appear to be connected, forming the equivalent of a finely microporous material. The large amount of condensable organic vapor sorbed into this finely porous structure causes partial blocking of the small free-volume elements, reducing the permeabilities of the noncondensable permanent gases from their pure gas values.     

Permeation and sorption for oxygen and nitrogen into polyimide membranes

The permeation rate curves and sorption rate curves of oxygen and nitrogen below 1.3 atm were measured for seven polyimides of which chemical structures were systematically changed. These rate curves were applied Fickian model curves. The Fick's law was found to hold from the pressure independencies of diffusion coefficients for both the experiments. The solubility was better described according to dual-mode sorption model rather than Henry-s law from the sorption experiments. The diffusivities of both the gases were correlated with packing density (reciprocal of specific free volume) of the polymer, except two polyimides. The packing density of these two polymers could not be successfully calculated from Bondi's method. However, all the diffusion coefficients decreased linearly with an increase in the cohesive energy density (CED), which was calculated by the group contribution method of van Krevelen. These results suggest that the gas diffusions in polyimides better correlate with CED than with the packing density. Therefore, the cohesive energy density may be considered as a more reliable indication of the efficient gas separation. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Impact of average free‐volume element size on transport in stereoisomers of polynorbornene. II. Impact of temperature on solubility

This article evaluates the influence of temperature on the sorption of gases in two isomers of polynorbornene. The subject polymers were stereoisomers with nearly identical bulk density and total free volume. Because of differences in the mobility of the polymer backbone, the isomers packed differently resulting in differences in the average free‐volume element size within the matrix. The influence of these differences on free‐volume element size was characterized by the heat of sorption of gases in the matrix. The most pronounced differences were observed in the isosteric heats of sorption of condensable carbon dioxide and methane in the polymer isomers. This analysis suggests that the relative space available for sorption into free‐volume elements is higher in the methyl II isomer relative to methyl III. These conclusions support the physical characterizations reported in Part I of this series suggesting that the methyl II isomer has larger average free‐volume elements but fewer of them than the methyl III isomer. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Switchable gas permeability of a polypropylene-liquid crystalline composite film

The development of functionalized polyolefins for use as stimuli-responsive commodity polymers has recently received much attention. In this work, a microporous polypropylene (PP) scaffold is used to align and fortify a smectic liquid crystalline network (LCN) which can switch its gas permeability upon pH changes. The LCN is a photopolymerized liquid crystalline mixture of a dimerized benzoic acid derivative monoacrylate and a diacrylate crosslinker. In the hydrogen-bonded state, the composite membrane shows a high-molecular order and a low permeability for He, N₂, and CO₂ gases. By pH switching from the hydrogen-bonded state to the salt form, the molecular order is reduced, and the gas permeability is increased by one order of magnitude. This increase is mainly attributed to a loss in order of the system, increasing the free volume, resulting in an increased diffusibility. By exposing the composite film to basic or acidic environments, reversible switching between low and high gas permeability states is observed, respectively. The physical constraints imposed by the PP scaffold strengthens the membrane while the reversible switching inside the liquid crystalline polymer is maintained. This switching of gas permeation properties is not possible with the fragile freestanding LCN films alone.     

Long-term permeation properties of poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) membranes in hydrocarbon—Vapor environment

Poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP), a high free-volume glassy di-substituted polyacetylene, has the highest gas permeabilities of all known polymers. The high gas permeabilities in PTMSP result from its very high excess free volume and connectivity of free volume elements. Permeability coefficients of permanent gases in PTMSP decrease dramatically over time due to loss of excess free volume. The effects of aging on gas permeability and selectivity of PTMSP membranes continuously exposed to a 2 mol % n-butane/98 mol % hydrogen mixture over a period of 47 days are reported. The permeation properties of PTMSP membranes are quite stable when the polymer is continuously exposed to a gas mixture containing a highly sorbing organic vapor such af n-butane. The n-butane/hydrogen selectivity was essentially constant for the 47-day test period at a value of 29, or 88% of the initial value of the as-cast film of 33. Condensable gases such as n-butane may serve as a “filler” in the nonequilibrium free volume of the polymer, thereby preserving the high level of excess free volume. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The effect of drawing on the transport of gases through polyethylene

A study has been made of the gas transport properties of polyethylene films of two different grades, Hizex 7000F and Rigidex 002-55, one-way drawn at 115°C to draw ratios in the range 1–20. Measurements of the permeability and diffusion coefficients of helium, oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen have been made with a dynamic flow rate technique, utilizing a mass spectrometer detection system, and of oxygen using a commercial OXTRAN system. The samples were characterized by the measurement of density, birefringence and modulus and by wide-angle x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. There is a large decrease in both the permeability and diffusion coefficients for all gases with increasing polymer draw ratio, with up to an 80-fold decrease in permeability for the larger permeants compared with the 10-fold decrease observed for helium. The solubilities of all the gases decrease only by a factor of ～ 2. The diffusion results are discussed in terms of geometric impedance and chain immobilization factors. The solubilities, on the other hand, appear to relate primarily to the amorphous volume fraction of the polymer. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
