Poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne)(PTMSP), poly(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) 막 및 PTMSP-g-PDMS막 등의 균질 치밀막을 제조하여 chloroform, trichloroethylene(TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE) 등의 유기염소계 화합물에 대한 투과증발 분리성능을 평가한 결과 PCE 대해 가장 높은 선택성을 나타내었다. PTMSP 막들의 경우는 시간이 지나면서 투과특성이 현저히 감소하였으나 PTMSP-g-PDMS 막은 지속적인 투과특성을 나타내어 시간이 경과되어도 물리적 노화현상은 거의 없었다. 또한 접촉각 측정 결과 본 연구에 사용된 고분자막들은 모두 분리대상 용질에 대해 친화성을 보였으며 균질 치밀 막들에 대한 상대적 팽윤도가 클수록 신택도가 증가하였다.
Dense polymer membranes were made from vanous silicone polymers such as poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyneHPTMSP), poly(dimethylsiloxaneHPDMS), PTMSP- g-PDMS. These membranes were evaluated in terms of the removal of chlorinated organic hydrocarbons such as chloroform, trichloroethylene(TCE), perchloroethylene(PCE) from water by pervaporation. It was possible for membranes used in this study to remove PCE selectively which is dissolved small quantity in water among other separable solutes. PTMSP membranes exhibited a remarkable decay in permeability with time because of the free volume decreases. However, PTMSP-g-PDMS membrane underwent no physical aging and showed the stable flux behavior. From the results of the contact angle measurement, polymeric membranes used in this study showed affinity with solutes for separation and no affinity with water. The relative swelling degree was directly related to the selectivity, while it has no influence on the flux.
