Abstract:Vapor-liquid equilibria data of three poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide)/water liquid crystals (LCs) with CO 2 has been obtained up to 6 bar. The investigated LCs consist of 60% (EO) 3 (PO) 50 (EO) 3 (Pluronic L81), 70% (EO) 8 (PO) 47 (EO) 8 (Pluronic L92), and 70% L92-NH 2. The maximum CO 2 loading of the LCs was 5-13 g CO 2 /kg sample. Pure L81 and L92 displayed higher absorption of CO 2 than the LCs. Rheology measurements revealed that the increasing viscosity of the samples dec… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
