This work shows that the structural architecture of polybenzimidazole (PBI) is highly advantageous in offering attractive gas permeation properties of its composites with MOFs. PBI-Bul and its N-substituted (methyl and 4-tert-butylbenzyl) derivatives were blended with ZIF-8. In general, homogeneous blend formation of ZIF-8 was achieved with all three polymers, as supported by SEM. Wide angle X-ray diffraction, mechanical property analysis and density measurements of the composite membranes were performed in order to understand the effects of physical blending of MOFs and polymers. Gas permeability analysis of the composite membranes revealed that the properties of MOFs as well as those of polymers arising from their structural architecture are responsible for governing the permeability and selectivity of the resulting composites.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7.443</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biswal, Bishnu P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhaskar, Anand</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banerjee, Rahul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kharul, Ulhas K.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Selective interfacial synthesis of metal-organic frameworks on a polybenzimidazole hollow fiber membrane for gas separation</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanoscale</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7291-7298</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained immense attention as new age materials due to their tuneable properties and diverse applicability. However, efforts on developing promising materials for membrane based gas separation, and control over the crystal growth positions on polymeric hollow fiber membranes still remain key challenges. In this investigation, a new, convenient and scalable room temperature interfacial method for growing MOFs (ZIF-8 and CuBTC) on either the outer or inner side of a polybenzimidazole based hollow fiber (PBI-BuI-HF) membrane surface has been achieved in a controlled manner. This was made possible by the appropriate selection of an immiscible solvent pair and the synthetic conditions. The growth of MOFs on the PBI-BuI-HF membrane by the interfacial method was continuous and showed an appreciable gas separation performance, conveying promise for their applicability.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7.76</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kunjattu, Shebeeb H.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ashok, Varsha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhaskar, Anand</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandare, Kiran</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banerjee, Rahul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kharul, Ulhas K.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ZIF-8@DBzPBI-BuI composite membranes for olefin/paraffin separation</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Membrane Science</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gas permeation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Olefin/paraffin separation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polybenzimidazole (PBI)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ZIF-8</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAR </style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">549</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">38-45</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ZIF-8 is a member of Zeolitic Imidazole Framework family having high internal surface area, the high thermo-chemical stability and ease of synthesis gained immense attention for its highly selective sieving ability. Transforming it into a membrane form and practical utility remains a challenge. Any success towards this direction would radically reduce the cost of propylene/propane separation. Present study reports use of substituted polybenzimidazole (DBzPBI-BuI) for fabrication of flexible, thus scalable composite membranes with ZIF-8 (ZIF8@DBzPBI-BuI) possessing host-guest compatibility. The membrane with 30% ZIF-8 loading showed promising propylene-propane separation (ideal selectivity of 32.7), coupled with propylene permeability of 12.13 Barrer. Analysis of sorption shed light on the high contribution of diffusivity on governing permeation properties of the composite membranes. The mixed gas analysis offered highly encouraging results in comparison to known composite membranes of different polymers with ZIF-8. Placement of present data on `upper-bound' showed a rapid enhancement in selectivity by the addition of ZIF-8 in the polymer matrix, which seems to be a result of the elimination of inter-phase defects. It was made possible due to the functionality of host polymer.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.035</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
