摘要: Abstract The effect of silica nanoparticles on the gas permeation properties polycaprolactone-based polyurethane membranes was investigated. Polyurethane and polyurethane-silica nanocomposite were prepared by solution blending casting-evaporation methods. Silica sol–gel method using hydrolysis tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). synthesized bulk two-step polymerization, including polycaprolactone 2000(PCL)/hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI)/1,4-butanediol (BDO). homogeneity nano scale distribution characterized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Gas these with different contents, studied for pure CO 2 , CH 4 N O gases. results showed reduction in permeability, but enhancement /N /CH ideal selectivity. Also temperature pressure modified Higuchi model applied to predict permeability membranes. Good agreement between experimental data predicted obtained.
