Gas permeation and diffusion in copolymers of Tetrafluoroethylene (cas 116-14-3) and hexafluoropropylene: Effect of annealing

Add time:08/26/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

Two novel perfluorinated materials, copolymers of tetrafluoroethyelene (TFE) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP), were prepared and studied. In both copolymers the prevailing comonomer was HFP. The copolymers are completely amorphous and similar by their properties to poly(hexafluoropropylene) studied earlier. A detailed investigation of gas permeation parameters (permeability and diffusion coefficients) was conducted both at ambient temperature and in the range 22–50 °C. For comparison, additional measurements of temperature dependencies of transport parameters were performed for annealed films of poly(hexafluoropropylene). On the Robeson diagrams for gas pairs He/H2, He/CH4 the data points of the ‘as cast’ films of the copolymers were located between Upper Bounds (UB) of 1991 and 2008. However, annealing of the copolymers resulted in a dramatic increase in selectivity, so the data points shifted above UB-2008 on these diagrams as well on those for the gas pairs H2/CH4, N2/CH4 and He/N2. This makes these copolymers interesting candidates for separation gas mixtures containing He and H2.
