Abstract:
The present invention relates to a BCDA-based semi-alicyclic homo- or co-polyimide membrane material for gas separation and a preparation method thereof. The polyimide material prepared according to the present invention has high solubility in casting solvents, particularly in polar organic solvents, by interrupting asymmetry in the polyimide chain structure and formation of polyimide complexes compared with aromatic polyimides, and has higher heat resistance than the conventional aromatic polyimides and aliphatic polyimides, so that it is useful for the process of a high-selective permeable composite membrane or a asymmetric hollow fiber membrane used for commercial purposes, suggesting that it can be effectively used as a membrane for gas separation in various fields. In addition, the polyimide material membrane for gas separation of the present invention is useful because it has superior gas separation properties to the conventional commercialized aromatic polyimides or semi-alicyclic polyimides.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a polyimide-based macromolecular compound which is produced by using DOCDA and one or more diamines selected from the group consisting of MDA, ODA, PDA, TDA, TrMPD, TeMPD and MBCA; and a gas-separation asymmetrical hollow-fiber membrane comprising the same. The polyimide-based macromolecular compound according to the present invention can advantageously be used in the production of a gas-separation hollow-fiber membrane having an asymmetrical structure since the said compound is highly viscous due to a high molecular weight in addition to having outstanding gas permeability and high selectivity while having excellent high heat resistance, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties and being outstandingly soluble in polar organic solvents.
