Novel diamine monomers containing imidazolium or pyridinium groups were synthesized to prepare ionic polyimides, which were expected to have the affinity with CO 2 gases. Then, the nanosheets of these polyimides, the thickness of which were 50 -90 nm, were fabricated by spin coating method. Furthermore, the nanosheet-coating of polydimethylsiloxane graft copolyimide membranes was carried out, and the effect of surface structure on the gas permselectivity was investigated. As a result, the nanosheet coating on the highly gas permeable membrane was effective to improve the selectivity of CO 2 /N 2 and O 2 /N 2 with maintaining the high gas permeability to some extent. In addition, it was found that the gas separation properties depended on the side chain structures of polyimides containing ionic groups.Trans. Mat. Res. Soc. Japan 43[5] 279-282 (2018)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
