โฆ Synopsis
The side-chain liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP) was synthesized by the addition of the mesogenic monomer to poly (methylsiloxane) with Pt catalyst. When the benzene/cyclohexane mixtures were permeated through the LCP membranes by pervaporation at various temperatures, the permeation rate increased with increasing benzene concentration in the feed solution and permeation temperature. Though the LCP membranes exhibited a benzene permselectivity, a mechanism of the permeation and separation for the benzene/cyclohexane mixtures was different in the glassy, liquid-crystalline and isotropic state of the LCP membranes. These results suggested that the permselectivity was fairly influenced by the change of the LCP membrane structure, that is, a state transformation. It was found that a balance of the orientation of mesogenic groups and flexibility of siloxane chains is very important for the permeability and selectivity.
