摘要

Abstract

Recently

hollow filler as an emerging concept is attracting more attention in preparation of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). Herein

poly(ethylene glycol) microcapsules (PMC) are synthesized

via

distillation precipitation polymerization and embedded into the polyetherimide (Ultem

1000) matrix to fabricate MMMs for CO

capture. The PMC exhibits a preferential hollow structure within the Ultem matrix to furnish highways within membrane

and thus achieve high gas permeability. Meanwhile

the favorable affinity of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) microcapsule with ether oxygen group (EO) towards CO

enhances the CO

solubility selectivity. Such integration of physical and chemical microenvironments in the as-designed PEG microcapsule affords highly enhanced CO

separation performance. Compared to pristine Ultem

1000

the membrane with 2.5 wt% PMC loading exhibits 310% increment in CO

permeability and 22% increment in CO

selectivity

which shows the promising prospects of designing PEG-containing microcapsules as the filler of MMMs for CO

capture.
