Thin film nanocomposite membranes of PIM-1 and graphene oxide/ZIF-8 nanohybrids for organophilic pervaporation

Outstanding performance of PIM-1 membranes towards the separation of fluorinated refrigerant gases

“…The polymer synthesis procedures employed to obtain PIM-1 polymers, B2, B17 and B11, are outlined in Section S2. Modifications which produced branched PIM-1 samples have been previously reported in the literature [29][30][31][32], with the underpinning theory to produce highly branched PIM-1, such as B17 and B11, outlined in a more recent publication [33]. The polymers were purified and then characterised as described in Section S3.…”
