Title: Polyphosphazene polymer development for mixed matrix membranes using SIFSIX-Cu-2 i as performance enhancement filler particles

Abstract

Phosphazene-based polymers were synthesized by using different pendant groups such as trifluoroethoxy (TFE), phenoxy (PHO) and octafluoropentoxy (OFP). High performance methoxyethoxyethoxy/cyclohexoxy (MEE/CH) based polyphosphazene was developed for the first time in literature using a mixed-substitution method. The structural, chemical, and thermal properties of these polymers were analyzed using several techniques such as Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Significant differences in gas transport properties of gases have been observed between these pendant groups because of their differences in glass transition temperature and physical interaction with CO ₂. For the first time, we report on the high performance of TFE polyphophazene based mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) using a SIFSIX-Cu-2i (SIFSIX) metal organic framework (MOF) as the filler particles. These MMMs showed a significant improvement in both CO ₂ permeability and CO ₂/N ₂ selectivity compared to pure TFE polyphosphazene membranes. As a result, the excellent gas transport properties of these membranes make them very promising material for carbon capture applications.

Pervaporation of Water-Dye, Alcohol-Dye, and Water-Alcohol Mixtures Using a Polyphosphazene Membrane

Journal Article Orme, Christopher Joseph ; Harrup, Mason Kurt ; Mccoy, John Dwane ; ... - Journal of Membrane Science

A novel phosphazene heteropolymer (HPP) was synthesized that contained three differing pendant groups: 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethanol (MEE), 4-methoxyphenol, and 2-allylphenol. The resulting polymer is an amorphous elastomer with good film forming properties where MEE and 4-methoxyphenol pendant groups influenced the hydrophilicity and the solvent compatibility of the polymer. Sorption studies were performed to characterize the polymer in terms of Hansen solubility parameters. Additionally, group contributions were used to predict the Hansen parameters for the polymer and these data compared favorably with the observed solubility behavior with 15 solvents that ranged from hydrocarbons to water. Homopolymers synthesized from MEE and 4-methoxyphenol were alsomore »« less

Formation of Pervaporation Membranes from Polyphosphazenes Having Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Pendant Groups: Synthesis and Characterization

Journal Article Stewart, Frederick Forrest ; Harrup, Mason Kurt ; Luther, Thomas Alan ; ... - Journal of Applied Polymer Science

A series of new polyphosphazene polymers were synthesized using three different pendant groups with the goal of probing structure-function relationships between pendant group substitution and polymer swelling/water flux through thin dense films. Formation of polymers with relative degrees of hydrophilicity was probed by varying the stoichiometry of the pendant groups attached to the phosphazene backbone: p-methoxyphenol, 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethanol, and o-allylphenol. The polymers in this study were characterized using NMR, thermal methods, and dilute solution light-scattering techniques. These techniques revealed that the polymers were amorphous high polymers (Mw = 105-107) with varying ratios of pendant groups as determined by integration of themore »« less

Mixed-gas separation properties of phosphazene polymer membranes

Journal Article Peterson, E S ; Stone, M L ; McCaffrey, R R ; ... - Separation Science and Technology

The mixed-gas separation properties of poly[bis(phenoxy)phosphazene] based polymers are reported. Transport behavior was determined using the variable volume technique. Test gases were run as mixed-gas pairs including SO{sub 2}/N{sub 2}, H{sub 2}S/CH{sub 4}, and CO{sub 2}/CH{sub 4}. Transport of these gases was found to be a sorption controlled process since these gases significantly deviated from the diffusion controlled permeability-size correlation. Membranes were prepared using solution casting techniques. Solvent evaporation rate during the casting and subsequent curing processes was controlled to provide a consistent membrane microstructure. The authors have observed that polyphosphazene membranes can effectively be used to separate acid gasesmore »« less

Lower Critical Solubility Temperature Behavior in Membranes Formed from a 2-(2-Methoxyethoxy)ethoxy-Containing Polyphosphazene

Journal Article Stewart, F F ; Lash, R P - Journal of Membrane Science

A phosphazene polymer with three pendant groups was synthesized and characterized as a membrane material. Substitution of the phosphazene with 64% 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethanol (MEE), 27% 4-methoxyphenol, and 9% 2-allyphenol yielded a hydrophilic elastomer with considerable flow at room temperature. Solution behavior showed significant aging effects where, using fresh solutions, membranes could not cast on porous ceramic supports (0.2-micron pore size) without significant polymer penetration into the pores. Solutions aged for two weeks were found to readily penetrate into the pores of the ceramic support. Analysis of fresh and aged solutions by laser light scattering showed significant loss in molecular weight withmore »« less
Gas Permeability and Ideal Selectivity of Poly[bis-(phenoxy)phosphazene], Poly[bis-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)phosphazene], and Poly[bis-(3,5-di-tert-butylphenoxy)1.2(chloro)0.8phosphazene]

Journal Article Orme, Christopher J ; Klaehn, John R ; Stewart, Frederick F - Journal of Membrane Science

Described in this paper is the synthesis and gas permeability characterization of poly[bis-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)phosphazene], and poly[bis-(3,5-di-tert-butylphenoxy)1.2(chloro)0.8phosphazene]. In general, linear chloro-containing polyphosphazenes are hydrolytically unstable. However, in this work, a novel polymer, poly[bis-(3,5-di-tert-butylphenoxy)1.2(chloro)0.8phosphazene], was observed to have an unusually high degree of hydrolytic stability and excellent membrane formation characteristics. Data derived from these polymers were compared to that of the more common poly[(bis-phenoxy)phosphazene]. These comparisons showed higher gas permeabilities and ideal separation factors for both of the alkyl-substituted phenoxy-phosphazenes, thus validating the concept that adding sterically bulky pendant groups to phosphazenes can affect membrane performance through disruption of orderly chain packing.
