Area of Science:

  • Polymer science and engineering
  • Materials science
  • Chemical engineering

Background:

  • Penetrant-induced plasticization is a major challenge limiting the industrial application of polymers in membrane-based gas separations.
  • Microporous polymers offer unique structural features and properties but are susceptible to performance deterioration due to plasticization.
  • Understanding and mitigating plasticization is crucial for advancing research and development in this field.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an integrated discussion of plasticization theory and gas transport models relevant to microporous polymers.
  • To compare existing theories and models with an extensive database of microporous polymer plasticization characteristics.
  • To identify correlations between polymer properties and plasticization behavior, and evaluate mitigation strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review and synthesis of seminal plasticization theories and gas transport models.
  • Analysis of an exhaustive database of plasticization characteristics of microporous polymers.
  • Correlation analysis of polymer properties (e.g., free volume, chemical structure) with plasticization pressures from pure- and mixed-gas permeation tests.
  • Evaluation of current strategies for plasticization mitigation.

Main Results:

  • Established correlations between specific polymer properties and observed plasticization behavior.
  • Identified key factors influencing plasticization onset and severity in microporous polymers.
  • Assessed the effectiveness of various approaches to mitigate plasticization in membrane applications.
  • Provided a comprehensive overview of plasticization phenomena in the context of advanced polymer materials.

Conclusions:

  • A deeper understanding of plasticization mechanisms in microporous polymers is essential for their practical implementation.
  • Tailoring polymer structure and employing effective mitigation strategies can overcome plasticization challenges.
  • This work provides a foundation for future research aimed at developing robust polymer membranes for gas separations.
