초록

In order to prepare polyion complex membranes useful for the separation of water-alcohol by pervaporation, k-carrageenan containing artionic sulfate groups in the backbone and good hydrophilicity was selected for the polyanion membrane material and poly{1,3-bis[4-butyl pyridinium] propane. bromide}, one of the polycations synthesized in our lab and containing cationic pyridinium groups., was used. The polyion complex membranes were prepared by the ion complex formation between kcarrageenan films and poly{1,3-bis[4-butyl pyridinium] propane. bromide}. On the formation process of polyion complex membranes, the way of potyion complex formation was carefully studied. In order to study the effect of the morphology on the permeation properties of the polyion complex membranes, which is one of the important factors affecting on the permeation properties of membranes but rarely studied, the microstructure behaviors of the polyion complex mem6ranes in methanol-water mixtures with different compositions Were also studied with x-ray diffractometry and polarizing microscopy.
