Chemical cross linking modification of matrimid membranes using p-phenylenediamine for gas separation

Para-phenylenediamine (1,4-diaminobenzene,/PD), for the first time was chosen as the cross linking reagent for Matrimid membranes. The modification was performed by immersing Matrimid membranes in 10%w/v /PD/methanol solution at ambient temperature for certain period of times. The FTIR spectra confi...
