[摘要]：In this paper, we present the first preparation of an intrinsically dopable polyimide (DPI) membrane containing an amine-capped aniline trimer (ACAT) that reveals advanced gas separation capabilities as well as mechanically and thermally enhanced properties. The as-prepared DPI membrane was synthesized by reacting ACAT and 4,4'-(4,4'-isopropylidenediphenoxy)bis(phthalic anhydride) (BSAA) through a conventional thermal imidization reaction. Polyaniline (PANI) and conventional nondopable polyimide (NDPI) membranes were also prepared as controls. The DPI membranes were found to reveal permselectivities (a) of O-2/N-2 of about 13.54, which is about 1.96- and 1.54-fold higher than that of NDPI and PANI, respectively, based on the investigation of gas permeability analysis (GPA). Upon doping with 1.0 M HCl (aq), the pemselectivities of DPI for O-2/N-2 were found to be further increased to about 16.63. Moreover, significantly enhanced mechanical and thermal properties of the as-prepared DPI membrane were also found as compared to those of NDPI and PANI membranes, based on the studies of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. |
