“…In spite of the permeability enhancement an increase in the selectivity of the H 2 with respect to N 2 , O 2 and CO 2 was observed. In a later paper, Joly et al [74] investigated the role of silica in the modification of the membrane microstructure and the resulting effects on gas permeability. Similarly, Hu et al [75] prepared nanocomposite membranes that had higher permeability coefficients and significant improvements in permeselectivity.…”

Abstract. The present review article describes in detail the state-of-the-art of organic-inorganic hybrid materials based on polyimide/silica components. The article is divided in three parts. In the first the basic processing route for the preparation of these systems is described, i.e. the sol-gel technique, along with the strategies developed to control the final morphology. In the second part the curing characteristics, the dynamic-mechanical and the mechanical and fracture properties of hybrids with different morphologies are reviewed. Finally, the more technologically relevant applications devised for these high performance materials are discussed. : nanocomposites, hybrid materials, polyimide, silica, sol-gel eXPRESS Polymer Letters Vol.3, No.7 (2009) [413][414][415][416][417][418][419][420][421][422][423][424][425][426][427][428] Available online at www.expresspolymlett.com DOI: 10.3144/expresspolymlett.2009.51 or as functional materials [14] such as catalyst supports [15] and microelectronic devices [16]. The sol-gel route represents the preferred way for the synthesis of polyimide based hybrids. The classical sol-gel process consists in a two step hydrolysis-condensation reaction, starting with a metal alkoxides M(OR) 4 , typically tetraethoxisilane Si(OCH 2 CH 3 ) 4 or titanium isopropoxide Ti[OCH(CH 3 ) 2 ] 4 , to produce hydroxyl groups followed by the polycondensation of the hydroxyl groups and residual alkoxy groups to form a three-dimensional network [5,[17][18][19][20][21]. Polyimides are particularly suited for this type of process because they can be obtained from polyamic acid precursors, which are soluble in hygroscopic solvents and can, therefore, tolerate the addition of water necessary to bring about the hydrolysis of the metal alkoxide. Moreover, the outstanding thermal stability of polyimides allows the hybrids to be post-cured at very high temperatures (300-350°C) making it possible the development of a very dense inorganic network without inducing appreciable degradation of the organic phase. Polyimide/silica hybrids made by the sol-gel technique are the subject of this review, in which the approaches used for a close control of their final morphology, the effects of the silica phase on the curing process of polyimide precursors, the dynamic-mechanical and the mechanical and fracture properties that these materials can display, and their possible applications will be presented and discussed. Keywords Processing and morphologyA typical procedure for the preparation of PI/silica hybrids via the sol-gel route, involves the following steps: i) The polyamic acid (PAA) (PI precursor) is formed by a polyaddition reaction of a dianhydride [e.g., pyromellitic anhydride (PMDA), 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), or 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxy-phenyl)-hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA)] with a diamine [e.g., 4,4′-oxydianiline (ODA), or p-phenylen diamine (PPA)] in a common solvent [e.g., dimethylacetamide (DMAc), or N-methyl pyrolidone (NMP)]. The reaction and chemical str...

“…Several models have been used to describe the transport mechanism in dense membranes, such as the solution-diffusion model [3,18], the pore flow model [19], and the irreversiblethermodynamic model [20]. Among them, the solution-diffusion model seems to be accepted by the majority of membrane researchers.…”

“…In a different study Joly et al [18] have studied the effect of the permeation temperature and silicon content on the gas transport properties of the hybrid composite membranes. They observed a considerable increase in the CO 2 permeance with an increase in the silica content due to its high solubility in the composite material.…”

The atmospheric concentration of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) has been increasing since the start of industrialization in the mid 19th century, and the rate is increasing. It is highly unlikely that fossil fuel combustion, the main contributor to anthropogenic CO 2 , will be replaced in the foreseeable future. Therefore, CO 2 capture and storage offer a new set of options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, in addition to the current strategies of improving energy efficiency and increasing the use of renewable energy resources. Carbon dioxide selective membranes provide a viable energy-saving alternative for CO 2 separation, since membranes do not require any phase transformation. This review examines various CO 2 selective membranes for the separation of CO 2 and N 2 , CO 2 and CH 4 , and CO 2 and H 2 from flue or fuel gas. This review attempts to summarize recent significant advances reported in the literature about various CO 2 selective membranes, their stability, the effect of different parameters on the performance of the membrane, the structure and permeation properties relationships, and the transport mechanism applied in different CO 2 selective membranes. Finally, the future direction for CO 2 selective membranes is proposed. Hybrid organic-inorganic membranes have become an expanding field of research, as the introduction of organic molecules can improve the characteristics of a matrix. Hydrotalcite-type materials, perovskite-type oxides, lithium zirconate, and lithium silicate are also suggested as candidate materials for high temperature CO 2 selective membranes.

“…Desirable properties of nanocomposite membranes are due to the appropriate combination of polymer and inorganic materials. For instance, nanocomposite membranes have the desirable flexibility and processability of polymers and the selectivity and thermal permanence of inorganic materials Morooka and Kusakabe, 1999;Joly et al, 1999;Suzuki and Yamada, 2005;Okui et al, 1995).…”

-Nanocomposite membranes composed of polymer and inorganic nanoparticles are a novel method to enhance gas separation performance. In this study, membranes were fabricated from polysulfone (PSf) containing magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles and gas permeation properties of the resulting membranes were investigated. Membranes were prepared by solution blending and phase inversion methods. Morphology of the membranes, void formations, MgO distribution and aggregates were observed by SEM analysis. Furthermore, thermal stability, residual solvent in the membrane film and structural ruination of membranes were analyzed by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The effects of MgO nanoparticles on the glass transition temperature (T g ) of the prepared nanocomposites were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The T g of nanocomposite membranes increased with MgO loading. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of nanocomposite membranes were analyzed to identify the variations of the bonds. The results obtained from gas permeation experiments with a constant pressure setup showed that adding MgO nanoparticles to the polymeric membrane structure increased the permeability of the membranes. At 30 wt% MgO loading, the CO 2 permeability was enhanced from 25.
