Formation–structure–performance correlation of thin film composite membranes prepared by interfacial polymerization for gas separation
Abstract(#br)Thin film composite (TFC) membranes for CO 2 /N 2 separation were prepared by interfacial polymerization from N-Methyldiethanolamine (MEDA) and Trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coating polysulfone (PS) support membrane. The structural properties of TFC membrane surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The relationships among the skin layer formation conditions, skin layer structure, and membrane separation performance were investigated.
