Abstract

This study was carried out to prepare a heterogeneous cation exchange membrane by mixing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), commercial cation exchange resin and sulfonated poly(phenylene oxide)(SPPO) in order to propose an optimum condition for the preparation, and to compare its properties with commercial membrane. Study results show that the ion exchange capacity and electrical resistance were outstanding when the ratio of polymer matrix was less than 30% comparing between PVDF-IER, PVDF-SPPO and PVDF-SPPO-IER. The tensile strength was confirmed that seemed a hard look was five times greater compared to the commercial heterogeneous membrane, despite the weak durability of PVDF resin. Therefore, when chemical and mechanical properties are considered, the optimum mixing ratio between PVDF, IER and SPPO was 30 : 70, at which electric resistance was measured as $3{\sim}5{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, ion exchange capacity as 0.6~1.0 meq/g, while mechanical strength was in a range of $12{\sim}15kgf/cm^2$.

본 연구는 양이온 불균질막을 제조하기 위해 PVDF matrix에 상용 양이온교환수지와 sulfonated poly(phenylene oxide)(SPPO)를 배합하여 제조, 이온 흡착 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. 연구결과 PVDF-IER 불균질막과 PVDF-SPPO 불균질막 PVDF-SPPO-IER과 비교하였을 때 고분자 매트릭스의 비율이 30% 이하일 경우 이온교환용량, 전기저항에서 우수한 물성을 가지고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 인장강도의 경우 PVDF resin의 약한 내구성에도 불구하고 상용화 불균질막과 비교하여 최대 5배 이상의 강인한 모습을 보이고 있는 것으로 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 화학적 특성과 기계적 특성을 고려했을 때 PVDF와 이온교환분말과 SPPO의 혼합 최적 비율은 30 : 70이며 이때의 전기저항은 $3{\sim}5{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, 이온교환 용량은 0.6~1.0 meq/g으로 측정되었고 기계적 강도는 $12{\sim}15kgf/cm^2$으로 측정되었다.
