본 연구에서는 atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP)에 의해 polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)와 methyl-methacrylate (MMA)로부터 polydimethylsiloxane-polymethylmethacrylate (PDMS-PMMA) block copolymer를 합성하였다. 합성된 PDMS-b-PMMA copolymer막의 특성은 FT-IR, 1H NMR, GPC, DSC 등을 사용하여 조사하였다. 질소와 수소의 투과도는 각각 1.2~1.5 barrer와 6.2~10.5 barrer를 보였고, 질소에 대한 수소의 선택도는 5.3~6.9 범위였다. PDMS-b-PMMA copolymer 막의 투과도와 선택도는 PDMS 막보다는 낮은 값을 보였고, PMMA 막보다는 높은 결과를 보였다.
In this research, polydimethylsiloxane-polymethylmethacrylate (PDMS-PMMA) block copolymer was synthesized from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and methylmethacrylate (MMA) monomer using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The synthesis characterization of the PDMS-b-PMMA copolymer membrane was carried out by a FT-IR, 1H-NMR, GPC and DSC. The permeabilities of nitrogen and hydrogen gases were observed being 1.2~1.5 barrer and 6.2~10.5 barrer, respectively. Simultaneously, selectivities of hydrogen against nitrogen were 5.3~6.9. The permeability and selectivity of PDMS-b-PMMA copolymer membrane were showed lower than the PDMS membrane, but higher than the PMMA membrane.
