Book excerpt: The first concern of scientists who are interested in synthetic polymers has always been, and still is: How are they synthesized? But right after this comes the question: What have I made, and for what is it good? This leads to the important topic of the structure-property relations to which this book is devoted. Polymers are very large and very complicated systems; their character ization has to begin with the chemical composition, configuration, and con formation of the individual molecule. The first chapter is devoted to this broad objective. The immediate physical consequences, discussed in the second chapter, form the basis for the physical nature of polymers: the supermolecular interactions and arrangements of the individual macromolecules. The third chapter deals with the important question: How are these chemical and physical structures experimentally determined? The existing methods for polymer characterization are enumerated and discussed in this chapter. The following chapters go into more detail. For most applications-textiles, films, molded or extruded objects of all kinds-the mechanical and the thermal behaviors of polymers are of pre ponderant importance, followed by optical and electric properties. Chapters 4 through 9 describe how such properties are rooted in and dependent on the chemical structure. More-detailed considerations are given to certain particularly important and critical properties such as the solubility and permeability of polymeric systems. Macromolecules are not always the final goal of the chemist-they may act as intermediates, reactants, or catalysts. This topic is presented in Chapters 10 and 11.

This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asymmetric Cellulose acetate membranes were first developed and used for water desalination. Though the inventors designed membranes to be porous on surface which would separate salt from water by adsorption of pure water on the surface, the prevailing scientific community felt it was diffusion of pure water from the membrane which caused separation. Even after polyamide RO membranes became available which were derived by surface modification of polysulfone UF membranes that were well recognized for their porous nature, the solution-diffusion theories continued. We were compelled to take up this work to give additional evidence for existence of pores on the surface of all membranes those could separate solutes from solutions. We demonstrated that application of vacuum at outlet of membrane should improve the flux only if the membrane was not a continuous surface. Applying vacuum at outlet of the membrane is not same as applying that much additional pressure at the feed side. Polyamides that cannot form continuous structures were synthesized and demonstrated to produce porous desalination RO Membranes, with higher flux under vacuum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late-1960’s, perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSAs) ionomers have dominated the PEM fuel cell industry as the membrane material of choice. The “gold standard’ amongst the many variations that exist today has been, and to a great extent still is, DuPont’s Nafion® family of materials. However, there is significant concern in the industry that these materials will not meet the cost, performance, and durability requirementsnecessary to drive commercialization in key market segments – es- cially automotive. Indeed, Honda has already put fuel cell vehicles in the hands of real end users that have home-grown fuel cell stack technology incorporating hydrocarbon-based ionomers. “Polymer Membranes in Fuel Cells” takes an in-depth look at the new chem- tries and membrane technologies that have been developed over the years to address the concerns associated with the materials currently in use. Unlike the PFSAs, which were originally developed for the chlor-alkali industry, the more recent hydrocarbon and composite materials have been developed to meet the specific requirements of PEM Fuel Cells. Having said this, most of the work has been based on derivatives of known polymers, such as poly(ether-ether ketones), to ensure that the critical requirement of low cost is met. More aggressive operational requi- ments have also spurred the development on new materials; for example, the need for operation at higher temperature under low relative humidity has spawned the creation of a plethora of new polymers with potential application in PEM Fuel Cells.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One key challenge for alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cells is the lack of alkaline stable polycations. The synthesis of random, crosslinked and block copolymers based on the cobaltocenium phenylene norbornene (NPC) monomer is described. The polymers were synthesized from ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of the NPC monomer showed excellent thermo-alkaline and thermo-oxidative stability. Random copolymers, crosslinked networks and amphiphilic diblock copolymers were prepared by copolymerizing NPC with different hydrophobic monomers: norbornene for random copolymers, dicyclopentadiene for crosslinked networks and a norbornene dibenzyl ether monomer for amphiphilic diblock copolymers. Mechanical robust membranes were prepared from all these copolymers. Polymers with different architectures exhibited different morphologies. Random copolymers showed disordered interconnected cobaltocenium domains with ion clusters present; crosslinked networks showed homogenous distribution of ions; the amphiphilic diblock copolymers showed cylindrical microphase separation with the cationic domains being the continuous phase even though they constituted the minor volume component. The morphologies of the membranes were found to have little effect on the water uptake of the membranes, but significantly influenced the ionic conductivity. The crosslinked membranes showed lower conductivity compared to the random copolymer membranes at the same composition. However, higher IECs can be achieved by crosslinking with concomitant improved mechanical integrity relative to their random copolymer analogs, ultimately allows for reaching higher ion conductivity values. For the diblock copolymer, formation of a conducting ion channel and elimination of the presence of ion clusters allowed for significantly higher ionic conductivity than the random copolymer or the crosslinked networks at the same composition. Poly(vinyl acetate)-b-polybutadiene-b-poly(vinyl acetate) triblock copolymer was synthesized for water/alcohol pervaporation separation membrane. A difunctional chain transfer agent (dCTA) with both reversible addition - fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) and ROMP functionality was synthesized. The triblock copolymers were obtained by synthesizing narrow-dispersed poly(vinyl acetate) by RAFT and subsequently inserting a polybutadiene block by ROMP. The polymers were cast as thin membranes, and the polybutadiene was crosslinked by UV radiation for mechanical robustness. Solid state hydrolysis afforded poly(vinyl alcohol)-b-polybutadiene-b-poly(vinyl alcohol) membranes. Different compositions of the polymers resulted in different morphologies. A longer polybutadiene block or a shorter poly(vinyl alcohol) block contributed to stronger phase separation. This study invented a new methodology to construct amphiphilic triblock copolymers with well-defined morphologies.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ionic polymers have capabilities to shape the pathway to new membranes and polymer systems that did not exist before. The imidazolium moiety has shown substantial abilities to integrate into a platform for ionic polymers allowing their growth and formation through imidazolium use as a building block. Addition of this component, both ionic and non-ionic, into a polymer matrix has been developed, but the creation of highly tunable, modular polymer structure that contains imidazolium has the potential to surpass previous iterations of ionic compounds and materials in gas separation. After developing a tailorable approach to high performance ionic polymers, we have formed ionic polyimides and polyamides that have been used for various applications such as gas separation, coatings, and films. The ionic polyimides and polyamides which were formed have the potential to be used as CO2/light gas membranes.The hardest factor to overcome within membrane separation is the flux-selectivity tradeoff which describes the upper limits of permeability, gases ability to flow through a membrane, and selectivity, one gas's ability over another to permeate. With the addition of these ionic units into the backbone and as "free"-ILs within the polymer matrix, the permeabilities of these materials can be greatly increased. Through systematic design and study of materials, the structure-property relationship of these newly developed ionic polymers can be determined and applied to further the understanding of these unique polymer systems.

Book Synopsis Water and Salt Transport Structure/property Relationships in Polymer Membranes for Desalination and Power Generation Applications by : Geoffrey Matthew Geise
Download or read book Water and Salt Transport Structure/property Relationships in Polymer Membranes for Desalination and Power Generation Applications written by Geoffrey Matthew Geise and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing sustainable supplies of water and energy is a critical global challenge. Polymer membranes dominate desalination and could be crucial to power generation applications, which include reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), forward osmosis (FO), pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO), electrodialysis (ED), membrane capacitive deionization (CDI), and reverse electrodialysis (RED). Improved membranes with tailored water and salt transport properties are required to extend and optimize these technologies. Water and salt transport structure/property relationships provide the fundamental framework for optimizing polymer materials for membrane applications. The water and salt transport and free volume properties of a series of sulfonated styrenic pentablock copolymers were characterized. The polymers' water uptake and water permeability increase with degree of sulfonation, and the block molecular weights could be used to tune water uptake, permeability, and selectivity properties. The presence of fixed charge groups, i.e., sulfonate groups, on the polymer backbone influence the material's salt transport properties. Specifically, the salt permeability increases strongly with increasing salt concentration, and this increase is a result of increases in both salt sorption and diffusivity with salt concentration. The data for the sulfonated polymers, including a sulfonated polysulfone random copolymer, are compared to those for an uncharged polymer to determine the influence of polymer charge on salt transport properties. The sulfonated styrenic pentablock copolymer permeability data are compared to literature data using the water permeability and water/salt selectivity tradeoff relationship. Fundamental transport property comparisons can be made using this relationship. The effect of osmotic de-swelling on the polymers and the transport properties of composite membranes made from sulfonated styrenic pentablock copolymers are also discussed. The sulfonated styrenic pentablock copolymers were exposed to multi-valent ions to determine their effect on the polymer's salt transport properties. Magnesium chloride permeability depends less on upstream salt concentration than sodium chloride permeability, presumably due to stronger association between the sulfonate groups and magnesium compared to sodium ions. Triethylaluminum was used to neutralize the polymer's sulfonic acid functionality and presumably cross-link the polymer. The mechanical, transport, and free volume properties of these aluminum neutralized polymers were studied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a collection of original research papers which were presented in honor of the Bordon Award recipient, Professor Eric Baer, on the occasion of the 55th Meeting of the American Chemical Society (Atlanta, Georgia, March, 1981). The contributors are present or former colleagues and students who have worked with him in the Department of Macromolecular Science at Case Institute of Technology of Case Western Reserve University. Throughout his work, Eric Baer has attempted to find the relation ships of solid state structure and hierarchy to the resultant pro perties from which specific functions are derived. Although he has studied many seemingly unrelated subjects, from irreversible de formation, mechanics and yield processes in amorphous polymeric solids to structural organization and mechanical function of ten don, his unique goal has been to develop models from the real structure that would allow a quantitative description of properties. Today, this area of "microscience" is rapidly expanding as new and sophisticated applications of polymeric materials with multifunc tional properties are emerging from our understanding and control of the solid state. The wide-ranging ideas and the original ity of Professor Baer's contributions have stimulated many new concepts which are now widely accepted in the field of high polymers. The contributions to this volume represent many of the areas which he has explored.
