摘要
A surprisingly simple, yet effective blending method for ionic liquids (ILs) and polysulfone (PSf) is presented in this paper. Not only is the IL properly immobilised in the polymer matrix, which is crucial in high-pressure gas separation applications, but this method also produces tunable porous surfaced membranes that can be useful in several other applications. The size and distribution of the pores are dependent on the type and amount of IL incorporated into the PSf. A membrane formation mechanism is proposed to explain the presence of such a regular surface pore structure. Several commercially available ILs were tested to examine their compatibility with the polymer, and the CO2/N-2 gas separation performance of the resulting membrane was screened. ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, FTIR microscopy, and SEM imaging were also employed to shed light on the observed membrane structures. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
