摘要

New phase-inversion membranes based on polyamide-imides containing hydroxyl groups in the diamine component of the repeating unit are studied. The changes in the morphology of membranes depending on the quality of the precipitant used for wet formation

as well as on the number of hydroxyl groups in macromolecules are considered.

Abstract

Porous phase-inversion membranes of complex morphology were obtained on the basis of aromatic polyamidoimides with different numbers of hydroxyl groups in the diamine component of the repeating unit. The influence of the quality of the precipitant (nonsolvent) applied in membrane preparation (

i.e.

the use of “strong” or “weak” nonsolvent) on structural and morphological

features of polymer membranes of various chemical compositions was studied. Investigation of dilute solutions of membrane-forming polymers by optical methods revealed the changes in the state of the system both in the presence of a solvent and in the presence of a nonsolvent. On the basis of the obtained results

it was possible to estimate the sensitivity of the studied polymer/solvent/nonsolvent system to changes in the copolymer composition (a number of hydroxyl groups in the repeating unit).
