TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of polysulfone (PSF)/poly(ether sulfone) (PES) blend membranes with different blend ratios were synthesized by conventional solution casting and solvent evaporation technique.
Abstract: Polymer blending as a modification technique is a useful approach for augmenting the gas-separation and permeation properties of polymeric membranes. Polysulfone (PSF)/poly(ether sulfone) (PES) blend membranes with different blend ratios were synthesized by conventional solution casting and solvent evaporation technique. The synthesized membranes were characterized for miscibility, morphology, thermal stability, and spectral properties by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), field emission scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, respectively. The permeation of pure CO2 and CH4 gases was recorded at a feed pressure of 2–10 bar. The polymer blends were miscible in all of the compositions, as shown by DSC analysis, and molecular interaction between the two polymers was observed by FTIR analysis. The thermal stability of the blend membranes was found to be an additive property and a function of the blend composition. The morphology of the blend membranes was dense and homogeneous with no phase separation. Gas-permeability studies revealed that the ideal selectivity was improved by 65% with the addition of the PES polymer in the PSF matrix. The synthesized PSF/PES blend membranes provided an optimized performance with a good combination of permeability, selectivity and thermal stability. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of alkyl spacer length on physicochemical properties of DBU-based ionic liquids was studied by attaching ethyl, butyl, hexyl, octyl, decyl, and tetradecyl groups to the DBU cation.
Abstract: In this work, synthesis of 12 ionic liquids based on 1,8-diazobicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) cation with anions such as chloride, bromide, and thiocyanate were performed. The new ionic liquids were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The effect of alkyl spacer length on the physicochemical properties of DBU based ionic liquids was studied by attaching ethyl, butyl, hexyl, octyl, decyl, and tetradecyl groups to the DBU cation. The effects of temperature on the density and viscosity over a temperature range from 293.15 K to 373.15 K were recorded at atmospheric pressure. From the experimental density values, the thermal expansion coefficient values were calculated. The surface tension of the neat ionic liquids was measured at seven different temperatures (293.15 K, 303.15 K, 313.15 K, 323.15 K, 333.15 K, 343.15 K, and 353.15 K). The surface entropy and surface enthalpy were calculated from the experimental surface tension value at 303.15 K. The thermal behavi...
