Area of Science:

  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Membrane Technology

Background:

  • Cyclomatrix polyphosphazenes offer tunable properties for advanced applications.
  • Interfacial polymerization (IP) is a versatile technique for creating thin polymer films.
  • Controlling polymer network structure is key to achieving desired material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize novel cyclomatrix polyphosphazene films via nonaqueous interfacial polymerization.
  • To investigate the effect of potassium hydroxide concentration on film structure and properties.
  • To evaluate the gas barrier and gas separation performance of the prepared films.

Main Methods:

  • Nonaqueous interfacial polymerization (IP) using aromatic hydroxyl compounds and hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene.
  • Preparation of polymer films on ceramic supports.
  • Tuning deprotonation extent via potassium hydroxide concentration.
  • Gas permeation experiments to assess barrier and permselective properties.

Main Results:

  • Films exhibited tunable properties, ranging from hydrogen/oxygen barriers to high-temperature hydrogen-selective membranes.
  • High potassium hydroxide concentration yielded barrier films with very low H2 and O2 permeabilities.
  • Lower potassium hydroxide concentrations resulted in molecular sieving behavior with high H2/N2, H2/CH4, and H2/CO2 permselectivities at 200 °C.

Conclusions:

  • The interfacial polymerization method allows for precise control over cyclomatrix polyphosphazene film properties.
  • These tunable polymer films show significant potential for gas separation and barrier applications.
  • The developed materials demonstrate excellent performance, particularly for high-temperature hydrogen separation.
