현재 상업화되어있는 RO membrane으로는 크게 asymmetric membrane과 composite membrane으로 구분될 수 있다. Asymmetric membrane의 소재로는 Cellulose acetate나 Cellulose triacetate와 같은 것들이 사용되며 현재에도 많이 사용되고 있으나, 보다 더 우수한 성능을 갖는 분리막을 제조하기 위해 현재에는 주로 composite membrane 형태로 제조된다. 대부분의 composite membrane은 계면중합에 의해 제조되는데 대표적인 membranem으로는 FT-30이 있다. 이 밖에도 support의 표면을 직접 플라즈마 처리하여 복합막을 제조하는 공정이 있으며 polyactrylonitrile과 같은 membrane이 이에 속한다. 플라즈마 처리된 복합막은 처리 대상에 크게 영향을 받지 않고 support 표면에 crosslinking의 형태로 형성되기 때문에 active layer가 매우 안정하며 따라서 우수한 물리화학적 성질을 기대할 수 있다. 이밖에도 분리막 표면을 친수성 단량체로 플라즈마 처리함으로써 분리막 표면에 친수성을 부여하거나 관능기를 도입함으로써 불활성 표면을 활성화 시킬 수도 있는 등의 여러가지 장점을 가지고 있다.

Composite membranes were prepared for membrane/cold condensation process for recovery of unreacted olefin monomer from the polyolefin polymerization process by solution coating and plasma polymerization processes. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) solution was coated on polysulfone (PSF) support and increase of prepolymer content in solution made more dense membrane structure to result in the increase of separation factor while absolute flux decreased. Permeation of organic materials through the composite membranes follows the sorption and diffusion mechanism, which brought about the results that separation factor increased with critical temperature of the organic materials, and that flux increased with the increase of the molar volume. Crosslinking period affected the permeation characteristics. Other types of composite membranes were fabricated by plasma polymerization of siloxane materials on polypropylene (PP) and PSF supports. PP was tested as a support for composite membranes, which had not been used so far in solution coating process, and plasma polymerization made the composite membranes equivalent performances to those of membranes prepared by solution coating process.

Slip-casting 법으로 제조한 튜브형 다공성 $Al_2O_3$ 담체에 boehmite 입자를 단층 및 다층 졸-겔 침지코팅법과 본 실험실에서 개발한 새로운 가압 졸-겔 코팅법을 이용하여 알루미나 복합막을 제조하였다. 종래의 Yoldas법을 보완한 새로운 졸 제조방법에 의하여 입자크기가 작고 안정한 boehmite 졸을 제조 하였으며 졸의 제조조건에 따른 입자크기 변화와 열처리에 따른 겔의 상전이 및 비표면적 변화, 그리고 pH와 aging에 따른 안정성등을 규명하였다. 졸의 농도와 코팅시간 및 코팅 방법에 따른 코팅특성 등을 비교, 분석하여 복합막 제조에 최적인 코팅용 졸을 이용함으로써 담체 튜브내에 균열이 없고 재현성 있는 복합분리막을 제조할 수 있었다.

The poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based thin film composite nanofiltration (NF) membranes were prepared by coating polysulfone ultrafiltration membranes, sulfonated polyethersulfone and polyamide NF membranes with aqueous PVA solution by a pressurizing method. The PVA was cross-linked with aqueous glutaraldehyde solution. The NF membranes coated with a very low concentration of PVA on all the support membranes was successfully prepared. With increasing the hydrophilicity of the support membranes, the water flux increased. Especially, ζ-potential of negatively charged polyamide NF membrane was reduced by coating the membrane with PVA. A fouling experiment was carried out with positively charged surfactant, humic acid, complex of humic acid and calcium ion and bovine serum albumin. A non-coated polyamide NF membrane was significantly fouled by various foulants. The fouling process when using humic acid and protein occurred at the isoelectric point. There was severe fouling when using humic acid and adding bivalent cations. By coating the polyamide NF membrane with aqueous PVA solution, fouling was reduced. The polyamide NF membrane coated with PVA was resistant to the acidic and basic solution.

In this study, hindered amine-grafted graphene oxide (HA-GO) with antioxidant properties was prepared and incorporated into Nafion-based composite membranes as an effective filler material for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell applications. HA-GO was synthesized via a ring-opening reaction between amine groups in 4-amino-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl piperidine and epoxy groups on the surface of GO. Nafion-based composite membranes containing different weight contents of HA-GO were fabricated to compare the polymer electrolyte membrane properties with those of the pure Nafion membrane. The composite membranes with HA-GO were found to have better mechanical properties, chemical stability, and proton conductivity than the pure Nafion membrane. In particular, the conductivity retention behavior confirmed by the decrease in proton conductivity after Fenton's test of the composite membranes was better than that of the pure Nafion membrane due to the incorporation of HA-GO with effective antioxidant properties.

This study focuses on preparation of PVDF/PDMS composite membranes to effectively separate butanol from water-butanol mixture using pervaporation. We prepared various composite membranes by changing PVDF concentration of support layer and PDMS cross-linking condition of active layer. Pervaporation performance was tested by measuring butanol flux and separation factor with various cases of butanol concentration, temperature, and flow rate of feed. As results, performance of our novel PVDF/PDMS membranes surpasses that of PVDF/POMS membrane, manufactured by GKSS (Germany), in term of butanol flux, permeate concentration, and separation factor.

막을 이용한 기체분리의 경우 높은 투과도와 높은 선택도를 얻는 것은 매우 중요하면서도 어려운 일이다. 일반적으로 투과도가 높아지면 선택도가 낮아지고 선택도가 높아지면 투과도가 낮아지는 거동을 보인다. 이 두 가지의 특성을 적절히 조절하여 최적화하기 위하여 막은 기계적 강도를 높이기 위한 다공성의 지지층과 실질적인 분리가 일어나는 얇은 선택 층으로 구성된 복합막의 형태로 제조된다.(중략)

To improve pervaporation performance of water/ethanol mixtures, chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) blended and phosphorylated chitosan composite membranes were prepared. Chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) blends were prepared with various blend ratios and then crosslinked with glutaraldehyde by two methods. With increasing crosslinking agent content and crosslinking times separation factor increased and permeate flux decreased. Separation factor of the membrane which contains glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent was higher than that of the membrane surface crosslinked. Phosphorylated chitosan was prepared with various reaction times and composite membrane was prepared. As reaction times increased, the separation factor increased with high affinity for water.

Polymer membranes such as poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne)-polyetherimide (PTMSP-PEI) and poly(dimethylsiloxane)- polyetherimide (PDMS-PEI) composite membrane were prepared by solution casting method. To investigate the characteristics of these membranes, the analytical methods such as FT-IR, $^1H-NMR,$ DSC, TGA, GPC, and SEM have been utilized. The number-average (equation omitted) and weight-average (equation omitted) molecular weight of PTMSP were 477,920 and 673,329 respectively. The glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of PTMSP was $224^{\circ}C.$ The separation of the gas mixture ($H_2/N_2$) through the composite membranes were studied as a function of pressure. The separation factor (${\alpha}, {\beta},$ quation omitted) of the composite membranes used in this work increased as the pressure of permeation cell increased. The real separation factor (${\alpha}$), head separation factor (${\beta}$), and tail separation factor (equation omitted) of PTMSP-PEI composite membrane were 2.28, 1.17, and 1.96 respectively at ${\Delta}P$ 30psi and $25^{\circ}C.$ (${\alpha}, {\beta}$ and equation omitted of PDMS-PEI composite membrane were 3.70, 1.53, and 2.42 respectively at ${\Delta}P$ 30psi and $25^{\circ}C$.
