Biodegradable and sustainable polylactide (PLA) is becoming one of the most promising and practical materials as a partial replacement for the petroleum-based materials. The commercially available PLA is generally homochiral poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) at present because L-lactic acid with high optical purity can only be obtained in bulk by fermentation of carbohydrate. PLLA is mostly synthesized by ring opening polymerization (ROP) of homochiral L-lactide (LLA), which is a cyclic dimer of L-lactic acid. In the present work, poly(L-lactide)s were synthesized by the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of L-lactide using iron and manganese salen complexes as catalyst. The new iron and manganese salen complexes were synthesized, purified, characterized and used as catalyst for polymerization of L-lactide. The poly(L-lactide)s prepared were characterized by infrared, proton NMR spectroscopy, solution viscosity, gel permeation chromatography, thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) with different molecular weights were used as the solutes. While using feed solution containing mixture of PEGs, higher rejection was observed than using individual PEG. The water flux of PBI-BuI membrane after passing individual PEG solutions showed considerable (similar to 36%) reduction, which could be attributable to the PEG adsorption on the membrane pore surface. PEG adsorption was further substantiated by SEM, IR and TGA. The amphoteric nature of PBI-BuI could cause H-bonding between membrane surface and PEG molecules, leading to PEG adsorption on the membrane and pore surface. To ascertain this postulation, a study with PAN-PSSALi (which does not contain H-bonding) based UF membrane containing negatively charged -SO3- group was done. It was found that PEG adsorption in this case is not as predominant as in earlier case. This membrane showed marginal reduction in water flux of 8%, vis-a-vis 36% reduction shown by PBI-BuI based membrane. This indicated that H-bonding present in PBI-BuI is mainly responsible for the PEG adsorption on its membrane and pore surface, in spite of PEG being a neutral molecule. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
