Preparation of Poly(phenylene oxide) ,Imidazolium ,Gas Characterization - Abstract
In this study, halogen element was introduced into polyphenylene oxide polymer using bromination reaction, and then halogen element was replaced with imidazolium. Imidazolium corporated polyphenylene oxide polymer was synthesized and the synthesis was confirmed by various instrumental characterization. In addition, gas permeation properties of O2, N2, CO2 were studied with different imidazolium contents. As the content of imidazolium increased, the ion exchange capacity increased and the mechanical strength decreased. The gas permeance showed a tendency to decrease slightly with increaing imidazolium contents. Whereas, it was confirmed that the tendency of CO2/N2 ideal selectivity increased as the imidazolium contents increased.
