A novel class of gas separation membrane based on organic ionic plastic crystals. Issue 88 (28th September 2016) - McDonald, Jonathan L.
Abstract : The first demonstration of organic ionic plastic crystal-based membranes for CO2 separation. Abstract : The first use of organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) as CO2 separation membranes is reported. The novel OIPC/PVDF nanofiber composites show CO2 /N2 ideal selectivities of 30 at 35 °C. The dependence of gas permeability on the thermal phase of the plastic crystals is discussed.
