摘要

Abstract

Titanium(IV) oxide (TiO

) nanoparticles have been incorporated into mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) to improve gas separation performance. However

TiO

nanoparticles tend to agglomerate due to high surface energy and van der Waals forces. This leads to precipitation which causes the formation of non-homogeneous MMM morphology. In this study

the effect of octaisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) addition on TiO

/polysulfone MMM was investigated. The aims are to enhance gas separation performance whilst preventing agglomeration of TiO

nanoparticles. The results demonstrated that inclusion of POSS as dispersant increases MMMs’ CO

/CH

selectivity and permeance

possibly due to less void formation and more evenly distributed pore structure. For example

synergistic addition of 5 wt% TiO

and 5 wt% POSS increased the CO

/CH

selectivity up to 390% compared to MMM without POSS. This is supported by elemental mapping of titanium which revealed that POSS successfully dispersed TiO

nanoparticles and prevented aggregation. TiO

-POSS/PSf MMMs also retained their favorable thermal stability.
