Nanostructured poly(benzimidazole) membranes by N-alkylation

Abstract: Abstract. Modification of poly(benzimidazole) (PBI) by N-alkylation leads to polymers capable of undergoing microphase separation. Polymers with different amounts of C 18 alkyl chains have been prepared. The polymers were analyzed by spectroscopy, thermal analysis, electron microscopy and X-ray scattering. The impact of the amount of alkyl chains on the observed microphase separation was analyzed. Membranes prepared from the polymers do show microphase separation, as evidenced by scattering experiments. While … Show more

“…This is generally associated with a crystallization of the polymer backbone (intercrystalline domains). At high q values of 0.25 Å –1 , a characteristic peak appears when adding the PIL to the host polymer. This is attributed to side-chain aggregation (cluster domain) and corresponds to the size of the hydrophilic channels. ,,, The ionomer peak shifts from 0.258 to 0.206 Å –1 when increasing the PIL content (from 54 to 74 mol %) and the characteristic size of the cluster domain changes from 2.434 to 3.048 nm as expected; see Table . The peak becomes less recognizable for the samples, 70 mol %–1:1 and 74 mol %–1:1.…”

“…14−17 Recently, this polymer has been modified to bear adenine motifs in appending chains and has been assessed for the removal of several families of DNA alkylating GTI agents in dichloromethane (DCM) solutions with good results. 18,19 In such previous reports, PBI was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at high temperatures (>160 °C), ensuring its complete dissolution or/and mixing of reagents, 18,20 which led us to question if such heating step could have an effect on GTI adsorption, through induction of some structural or configurational features on PBI. Also, considering the chemical structure of unmodified PBI (Scheme 1), we decided to investigate in this work whether PBI adsorbers for GTIs could be developed using adequate thermal and/or pH conditioning.…”

“…Elektrodiyaliz, yakıt hücreleri, ozmoz teknikleri, ultra nano filtrasyon ya da gaz ayrıştırmalarında genellikle yarı geçirgen olan PBI içi boş liflerinden elde edilen zar yapılar (membranlar) kullanılmaktadır [102,[121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131]. Genellikle asit yüklemesi yapılarak geçirgenliği arttırılan PBI liflerinin mekanik özelliklerinin korunması amacıyla, iyonik çapraz bağlı, kovalent çapraz bağlı ya da kompozit membran gibi çeşitli yöntemler geliştirilmiştir [52,[54][55].…”
