Abstract

The PTMSP-silica-PEI composite membranes were synthesized from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and poly (1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP) by sol-gel process. The PTMSP-silica nanocomposite membranes were characterized by $^1H-NMR$, FT-IR, TGA, XPS, SEM, GPC and gas permeation measurements were accomplished with $H_2,\;O_2,\;N_2,\;CO_2,\;CH_4$. The gases permeability increased with increasing TEOS content. Both the permeability and selectivity of $H_2,\;CH_4$ increased to 15 wt% TEOS. While the permeability of $O_2,\;CO_2$ increased without decrease of selectivity.

PTMSP-silica-PEI 복합막이 PTMSP에 TEOS를 가하여 졸-겔 방법에 의해 제조되었다. 복합막의 특성은 $^1H-NMR$, FT-IR, TGA, XPS, SEM, GPC 등을 사용하여 조사하였고, 복합막의 기체투과 특성을 알아보기 위해 $H_2,\;O_2,\;N_2,\;CO_2,\;CH_4$를 사용하였다. PTMSP-silica-PEI 복합막의 기체 투과도는 TEOS의 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. $H_2$$CH_4$는 15 wt% TEOS에서 PTMSP-PEI 복합막보다 투과도와 선택도가 모두 증가하였다. 한편 $O_2$$CO_2$는 선택도의 감소없이 투과도가 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다.
