Abstract

$SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ was prepared by trimethylborate (TMB)/tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) mole ratio 0.01 at $800^{\circ}C$. PDMS[poly(dimethysiloxane)]-$SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ composite membranes were prepared by adding porous $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ to PDMS. To investigate the characteristics of PDMS-$SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ composite membrane, we observed PDMS-$SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ composite membrane using TG-DTA, FT-IR, BET, X-ray, and SEM. PDMS-$SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ composite membrane was studied on the permeabilities of $H_2$ and $N_2$ and the selectivity ($H_2/N_2$). Following the results of TG-DTA, BET, X-ray, FT-IR, $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ was the amorphous porous $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ with $247.6868m^2/g$ surface area and $37.7821{\AA}$ the mean of pore diameter. According to the TGA measurements, the thermal stability of PDMS-$SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ composite membrane was enhanced by inserting $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$. SEM observation showed that the size of dispersed $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ in the PDMS-$SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ composite membrane was about $1{\mu}m$. The increasing of $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ content in PDMS leaded the following results in the gas permeation experiment: the permeability of both $H_2$ and $N_2$ was increased, and the permeability of $H_2$ was higher than $N_2$, but the selectivity($H_2/N_2$) was decreased.

졸겔법에 의해서 trimethylborate (TMB)/tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) 몰비 0.01, 온도 $800^{\circ}C$에서 $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$가 제조되었다. 그리고 제조된 $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$와 PDMS[poly(dimethylsiloxane)]로부터 PDMS-$SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ 복합막을 제조하고 막의 물리화학적 특성을 TG-DTA, FT-IR, BET, X-ray, SEM에 의해 조사하고 그리고 $H_2$와 $N_2$의 투과도와 선택도를 조사하였다. TG-DTA, BET, X-ray, FT-IR 측정에 의하면 $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$는 무정형의 다공성 $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$였으며, 기공의 평균직경은 $37.7821{\AA}$, 표면적은 $247.6868m^2/g$이었다. TGA 측정에 의하면 PDMS 내에 $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$가 첨가되었을 때 PDMS-$SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ 복합막의 열적 안정성은 향상되었다. SEM 관찰에 의하면 $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$는 약 $1{\mu}m$ 크기로 PDMS 내에 덩어리 상태로 뭉쳐서 분산되어 있었다. 기체투과실험에 의하면 PDMS 내에 $SiO_2{\cdot}B_2O_3$ 함량이 증가하면 $H_2$와 $N_2$의 투과도는 증가하였고, 질소보다 Lenard Jones 분자지름이 작은 $H_2$의 투과도는 $N_2$의 투과도보다 컸으며, 선택도($H_2/N_2$)는 감소하였다.
