Abstract

Polyphosphazenes are hybrid polymers having organic pendant groups attached to an inorganic backbone. Phosphazene polymers can be tailored to specific applications through the attachment of a variety of different pendant groups to the phosphazene backbone. Applications for which these polymers have proven useful include solid polymer electrolytes for batteries and fuel cells, as well as, membranes for gas and liquid separations. A series of phosphazene homo-polymers were synthesized having varying amounts of hydrocarbon and polyether character on each individual pendant group. The polymers were synthesized with the polyether portion next to the polymer backbone and the hydrocarbon portion on the terminal end of the pendant group. The following data is presented: thermal characterization, pure gas permeability of six gases (Ar, H2, O2, N2, CO2, and CH4), and ideal selectivity for the gas pairs: O2/N2, H2/CO2, CO2/H2, CO2/CH4, and CO2/N2. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Annual Meeting and Fall Showcase (Cincinnati, OH 10/30/2005-11/4/2005).
