Gas separation membranes have a wide range of applications in industry, and there are two important factors in judging membrane standards permeability and selectivity. How to improve the selectivity of gas separation membranes while improving permeability is a challenge. In this study, poly (aryl ether sulfone) (PES) block copolymers were synthesized from fluorine-terminated polysulfone (PSF–F) and hydroxyl-terminated cardo PES containing phenyl substituted isoindolinone side group (PES-PPI-OH). Large side groups can enlarge the free volume and hinder chain movement to improve gas permeation behavior. Solvent-induced microphase separation of block copolymers by casting membranes with solvent benzyl alcohol (BA) can improve selectivity. The PSF- b -PES-PPI (10:10) BA membrane maintain good mechanical properties and tensile strength up to 93 MPa which compared to random polymer membrane rises to 14 MPa. Gas permeation at 23 °C showed that the O 2 /N 2 selectivity of PSF- b -PES-PPI (5:15)BA membrane was 10.6, which was the 2008 Robeson upper bound. Thus, poly (aryl ether sulfone) materials showed great potential application for O 2 /N 2 separation.
Bifunctionalized NH2-UiO-66-CF3 nanofillers were successfully prepared by grafting - CF3 on NH2-UiO-66 via aldehyde-amine condensation reaction and applied to the preparation of 6FDA-ODA/NH2-UiO-66-CF3 mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). The successful introduction of -NH2 and -CF3 groups was verified by FT-IR, XRD, and XPS characterization, and the integrity of the crystal structure was ensured. Due to the presence of hydrogen bonding, NH2-UiO-66-CF3 showed good interfacial compatibility with the polymer matrix. Due to the introduction of the - CF3 group, the MMMs exhibited excellent thermal stability (T10% > 500°C, Tg = 300°C–305°C), hydrophobicity (contact angle of 92.96–97.71), and mechanical properties (tensile strength of 74–85 MPa). The gas separation performance tests showed that the MMMs exhibited significantly improved gas permeability and selectivity compared to the pure 6FDA-ODA membranes, which was attributed to the fact that the -NH2 and -CF3 groups provided more adsorption sites for gases. In particular, the PI/NUF(10) MMMs showed the best performance, with permeabilities of 42.71, 9.22, and 92.79 Barrer for CO2, O2, and He, respectively, which were 248%, 213%, and 173% higher than those of the pure membranes. Meanwhile, the selectivities of CO2/N2, O2/N2 and He/N2 were improved by 37%, 24%, and 8%, respectively. Close to the Robeson upper limit, demonstrating excellent gas separation potential.
