Abstract

Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA-28)/Co-Al LDH nanocomposite membranes were prepared by solution intercalation using organically modified LDH. LDH was made organophilic by the intercalation of dodecyl sulfate (DS) anion in the interlayer. The prepared membranes were characterized using XRD, FT-IR and SEM. Gas permeability of EVA/LDH nanocomposite membranes with LDH content of 1, 3, and 5 w% was studied for $O_2$ and $CO_2$ at pressure of 3, 4, and 5 bar. The permeability of $O_2$ and $CO_2$ was minimum for nanocomposite membrane with 1 wt% LDH and increased with increasing LDH content, which is presumably due to aggregation of LDH filler. The selectivity of $CO_2$ for $O_2$ showed the maximum value at 1 wt% of LDH content and decreased thereafter.

Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA-28)/Co-Al LDH 나노복합막은 유기화된 LDH를 사용하여 용액 삽입법으로 제조하였다. LDH의 유기화는 충간에 dodecyl sulfate (DS) anion을 삽입시켜서 제조하였다. 제조된 막의 특성을 알아보기 위하여 XRD, FT-IR, SEM을 측정하였다. EVA/LDH 나노복합막의 기체투과도는 압력 3, 4, 5 bar에서 LDH 함량 1, 3, 5 wt% 변화에 따라 조사하였다. $O_2$$CO_2$의 투과도는 1 wt% LDH에서 최소값을 가지며 LDH 함량이 증가하면서 입자의 응집현상으로 인하여 투과도는 증가하였다. $O_2$ 대한 $CO_2$의 선택도는 LDH 함량 1 wt%에서 최대값을 나타내고 그 이상에서는 감소경향을 나타내었다.
