CO2 Permeation through PEBAX®-nanosilica Membranes

چکیده مقاله

A PEBAX ( Polyether block amide)- nano silica membrane was fabricated and operationally characterized using single gas (CO 2 ) permeation. The single gas permeability was carried out for neat PEBAX and PEBAX-nano silica (10 wt. % precursor) membranes. CO 2 permeability for the neat polymer membrane was higher than the nano-composite membrane and increased with pressure. Adding 10 wt.% of nanosilica precursor into the polymeric matri x caused CO 2 permeability to decrease.
