Phosphazene polymers are unique materials in that series of materials can be synthesized with a uniform backbone structure while varying the pendant group speciation. The result of this variation is that the physical properties can be controlled through adroit selection of pendant groups. In this wo

โฆ Synopsis
A series of dense membranes for gas separation based on poly[bis(phenoxy)phosphazene] (PPOP) were prepared in flat sheet configurations. They were characterized by viscosimetry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Permeation tests of 02, NZ, He and CO2 were made at five different temperatures below the T( 1) transition of PPOP, which gave results that proved to be stable and reversible with temperature. The Arrhenius plots of permeabilities were linear, and showed that the faster permeability of CO2 with respect to He was due to a larger solubility. Interesting O2 to N2 selectivity ratios were obtained.

The permeability of a composite membrane consisting of a homogeneous layer and a porous layer has been derived theoretically by assuming that the permeation through the homogeneous layer obeys Fick's law and that permeation through the porous layer is free molecular flow.

The membrane with continuously varying and pressure-dependent local permeability P may show a dependence of transport property for gases and vapors on the direction of flow. Such an asymmetry occurs only if the deviation of local permeability from ideality varies from layer to layer. In mathematical
