Semi‐IPN asymmetric membranes based on polyether imide (ULTEM) and polyethylene glycol diacrylate for gaseous separation

Abstract: Semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPN) formed with commercial polyether imide (ULTEM V V R , PEI) and poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) were used to make asymmetric membranes. The effect of increasing amount of PEGDA on the bulk and the gas separation properties of semi-IPN membranes were studied. The formation of IPNs was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The 5% weight loss temperature decreased and the percent weight loss of the first step increased with increa… Show more

“…2 and Table 1 respectively. The membrane making process was previously described in detail [25], briefly, the PEI is pre-dissolved in NMP, to which the PEGDa/initiator are then added. Solutions were mixed by rolling until the onset of turbidity, then cast onto a glass plate using a doctoring blade set to 250 m followed by gelation into distilled water at room temperature.…”

“…Despite these salient properties, the permeance of the polyether imides should be substantially increased in order to compete with conventional separation processes. Recently our group reported asymmetric semi-IPN membranes with increased permeance [20][21][22]. Semi-IPN membranes of thermoplastic polymer and bismaleimide (BMI) increased the permeance by a factor of 15 without compromising the selectivity [20].…”

“…This often led to phase separation and inferior gas transport properties. Our group reported a novel synthetic route with increased control over the semi-IPN formation [20][21][22].B M I was polymerized at ambient conditions in the presence of a proton donor, polar aprotic solvent and polyetherimide without the need for an initiator or catalyst [20,21]. At ambient conditions the polymerization occurs at a slower rate and hence it is possible to arrest the reaction at the required stage to control the phase separation and morphology [20,21].…”
