PEBAX®

Abstract(#br)A new Pebax ® /zeolite Y composite membrane with three layers on top of the polyethersulfone (PES) substrate was designed and successfully synthesized for CO 2 capture from flue gas. The three layers were the zeolite Y inorganic layer, selective Pebax ® layer, and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) cover layer, respectively, from bottom to top. Zeolite Y with a particle size of about 40\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003enm was synthesized and deposited onto the PES substrate.

Abstract(#br)A series of poly(ethylene glycol)- block -poly(pentafluoropropyl acrylate) diblock copolymers were synthesized by Reversible Addition Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerization. These block copolymers were blended up to 60\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003ewt% with commercially available PEBAX ® 2533. The resulting polymer mixtures were successfully spin coated onto cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) gutter layers which in turn had been deposited onto a porous polyacrylonitrile (PAN) support, to form a thin film composite membrane.
