Abstract

To separate carbon dioxide from a flue gas, membranes for gas separation was fabricated from polystyrene-b-polybutadiene (SB) diblock copolymer blends with poly(phenylene oxide), PPO. SB diblock copolymer formed miscible blends with PPO in the experimental range (lower than or equal to 70 wt% PPO). When the blend contained PPO whose composition is in the range of 40-50 wt%, the discontinuous phase of polybutadiene block in SB diblock copolymer, was changed to discrete phase, while polystyrene blocks containing PPO was changed to the continuous phase. A sudden decrease of the gas permeability and a sudden increase of the gas selectivity was observed at these blend compositions. A gas separation membranes having excellent mechanical properties and exhibiting advantages in gas permeability and selectivity could be fabricated from blends containing more than 50 wt% PPO.

배기가스에 포함된 이산화탄소를 분리하기 위해 polystyrene-block-polybutadiene(SB) 이종 블록 공중합체와 폴리페닐렌 옥사이드(PPO) 블렌드로부터 기체 분리막을 제조하였다. SB/PPO 블렌드에서 폴리스티렌 블록과 PPO는 실험 범위내에서 단상의 블렌드를 형성하였다. SB/PPO 블렌드에서 PPO 함량이 증가하여 40$\sim$50wt% 범위에서 플리부타디엔 블록은 연속상에서 불연속상으로 플리스티렌 블록과 PPO로 구성된 상은 불연속상에서 연속상으로 전이가 나타났다. 전이가 관찰되는 블렌드 조성에서 급격한 기체 투과도 감소와 선택도 증가가 관찰되었다. 또 블렌드가 50 wt% 이상의 PPO를 포함할 경우 기계적 강도가 확보되어 실험한 최대 압력인 약 10기압까지 변형없이 우수한 투과도와 선택도를 갖는 기체 분리막 제조가 가능하였다.
