Abstract

6FDA-based polyimides were prepared from the thermal imidization reaction of 6FDA with diamines of BAPAF, DAP, and DABA having a polar group of hydroxyl or carboxyl. Properties of the dense polyimide membranes were characterized and their gas permeation properties for H2, CO2, O2, N2, and CH4 were investigated. Permeabilities, diffusion coefficients and diffusivity selectivities of polar group-containing polyimide membranes including 6FDA-BAPAF, 6FDA-DAP, and 6FDA-DABA polymer for the gases did not change largely. The separation properties of 6FDA-TrMPD polyimide membrane used as a reference polymer were compared with those of the polyimide membranes mentioned above. It was found that the polyimides of 6FDA-BAPAF, 6FDA-DAP, and 6FDA-DABA, which were soluble in alcohol or/and 2-methoxyethanol, could be applicable to the preparation of a dense composite membrane by dip-coating method.
