Minute amount of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was used to cross-link graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets to prepare composite graphene oxide-framework (GOF) membranes with a nacre-like structure. The PVA provided additional increase in viscosity of GO suspension which made the solution casting of a large-area composite GOF membrane possible. The membranes were applied to separate an acetic acid-water mixture...
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been prepared through hydrothermal reduction, an environmentally safe reduction of graphene oxide (GO). rGO is used to fabricate a highly compatible and orderly stacked lamellar structure of composite membranes with chitosan (CS). This method also facilitates a continuous large-scale fabrication of membranes. Conventionally, GO and CS are the preferred compounds for...
Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes were prepared by controlled pyrolysis of polyetherimide (PEI) blended with polyimide (PI). The microstructure and gas separation properties of the precursor membranes and supported CMS membranes were characterized in terms of the different weight ratios of PI to PEI. The thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the co-pyrolysis in the PEI/PI appeared above 450 °C...
This study fabricates a transparent cyclic olefin copolymer (COC)/thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRGO) composite film with low content of TRGO, which exhibits high water vapor barrier properties. With only 0.06wt% (0.028vol%) TRGO, the COC/TRGO composite film reduces the water vapor permeability by ∼21%. The amount of TRGO in this work is 10–100 times lower than that in other polymer/clay or polymer/graphene...
The demand for flexible and transparent barrier films in industries has been increasing. Learning from nature, borate ions were used to cross-link poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and graphene oxide (GO) to produce flexible, transparent high-barrier composite films with a bio-inspired structure. PVA/GO films with only 0.1wt% GO and 1wt% cross-linker exhibited an O2 transmission rate <0.005ccm−2day−1,...
We prepare highly ordered flexible layers of graphene oxide (GO) on modified polyacrylonitrile substrates by the pressure-assisted self-assembly technique. This composite membrane shows excellent performance during the pervaporation separation of a 70wt.% isopropyl alcohol (IPA)/water mixture: 99.5wt% water in permeate and 2047gm−2h−1 permeation flux. Despite the specific GO deposition increase from...
