A1 Abajo, Francisco Javier García de A1 Hernández Giménez, Antonio K1 Copoly(ether-imide) membrane K1 Gas separation AB In our previous works, it was observed a clear relationship between the structure and theproperties for different copoly(ether-imide)s, besides a good relation was found betweenSAXS characterization and permeability results. Here, a series of aliphatic aromatic copoly(ether-imide)s, based on an aromatic diamine (ODA), a diamine terminated poly(ethyleneoxide) (PEO2000) of a molecular weight of 2000 g/mol and different aromaticdianhydrides (BPDA, BKDA (or BTDA) and PMDA) has been synthesized and characterized.The permeability for O2, N2, CO2 and CH4, increased with the rigidity of the monomers(BKDA < BPDA < PMDA), with the amount of PEO2000 in the copolymers, as well as withthe increase in the temperature of treatment of the films. In this case, it was observed thatwhen the proportion of PEO in the copolymer exceeded 50%, the permeability was similarfor all samples, and the aromatic portion had no significant influence.Attending to glass transition temperature, Tg, of the aliphatic part, to its melting temperature,Tm, and to its crystallinity, segregation was better for more rigid dianhydrides atlower temperatures of treatment. Higher dianhydride rigidity produced better mechanicalproperties that were good but decreased a little bit when the percentage of PEO in the samplesincreased.Good permselectivity compromises were attained for the CO2/N2 separation. This workgives indications on how to design advanced materials for this separation with the increasingpossibilities of controlled structure and properties.
