High-temperature polybenzimidazole-based membranes
Polybenzimidazole (PBI)-based high-temperature proton exchange membranes (PEMs) offer many advantages that aid in a simplified fuel cell system design. Such benefits include high resistance to fuel impurities (most notably carbon monoxide), fast electrode kinetics, and simplified water and thermal management due to operational temperatures above 120 ◦C.[1] As a result of its intrinsic physicoch...
متن کاملOn the Effective Permeability of Mixed Matrix Membranes
Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) are attracting significant interest for pervaporation and gas separation applications. To better comprehend the impact of filler particles within polymer matrices, the species permeation mass transport was theoretically studied by numerical simulation using finite differences. The Fick’s second law of diffusion was solved for a three-dimensional MMM to obtain the c...
متن کاملTuning the Interplay between Selectivity and Permeability of ZIF-7 Mixed Matrix Membranes.
Nanoparticles of zeolitic imidazolate framework-7 (nZIF-7) were blended with poly(ether imide) (PEI) to fabricate a new mixed-matrix membrane (nZIF-7/PEI). nZIF-7 was chosen in order to demonstrate the power of postsynthetic modification (PSM) by linker exchange of benzimidazolate to benzotriazolate for tuning the permeability and selectivity properties of a resulting membrane (PSM-nZIF-7/PEI)....
متن کاملAquaporins and Water Permeability of Plant Membranes.
The mechanisms of plant membrane water permeability have remained elusive until the recent discovery in both vacuolar and plasma membranes of a class of water channel proteins named aquaporins. Similar to their animal counterparts, plant aquaporins have six membrane-spanning domains and belong to the MIP superfamily of transmembrane channel proteins. Their very high efficiency and selectivity i...
متن کاملWater Permeability of Thin Lipid Membranes
The osmotic permeability coefficient, P(f), and the tagged water permeability coefficient, P(d), were determined for thin (<100 A) lipid membranes formed from ox brain lipids plus DL-alpha-tocopherol; their value of approximately 1 x 10(-3) cm/sec is within the range reported for plasma membranes. It was established that P(f) = P(d). Other reports that P(f) > P(d) can be attributed to the prese...
