Abstract
The development of membranes with antifouling properties is a significant challenge for pervaporation separation processes. The fouling of membranes during the separation of mixtures containing fermentation products limits the industrial application of pervaporation to produce biofuels. To obtain membranes resistant to fouling, a series of copolymers of poly(decylmethylsiloxane)-poly(pentafluoropropylacrylatemethylsiloxane) was synthesized for the first time. The influence of copolymer composition on surface and transport properties is demonstrated. It has been shown by IR-spectroscopy and elemental analysis that the groups, which are less abundant in the polymer, are oriented towards the surface of the film. The minimum value of surface energy (19 mJ·m−2) and the maximum gas permeability and sorption were observed for a sample with an equal ratio of decyl and 2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl acrylate groups. Based on this copolymer composite membrane is developed. It is shown that introducing 2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl acrylate groups leads to increase fouling resistance of composite membranes: permeability reducing ∼1 % after prolonged contact with fermentation mixture.
期刊介绍:
Reactive & Functional Polymers provides a forum to disseminate original ideas, concepts and developments in the science and technology of polymers with functional groups, which impart specific chemical reactivity or physical, chemical, structural, biological, and pharmacological functionality. The scope covers organic polymers, acting for instance as reagents, catalysts, templates, ion-exchangers, selective sorbents, chelating or antimicrobial agents, drug carriers, sensors, membranes, and hydrogels. This also includes reactive cross-linkable prepolymers and high-performance thermosetting polymers, natural or degradable polymers, conducting polymers, and porous polymers.
Original research articles must contain thorough molecular and material characterization data on synthesis of the above polymers in combination with their applications. Applications include but are not limited to catalysis, water or effluent treatment, separations and recovery, electronics and information storage, energy conversion, encapsulation, or adhesion.
