Incorporation of thermally labile additives in carbon membrane development for superior gas permeation performance

Incorporating thermally labile polymer additives into carbon membrane development is highly practical due to its process simplicity and effective approach. In this study, different polymer composition of thermally labile additives such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)...

TP Chemical technology Incorporating thermally labile polymer additives into carbon membrane development is highly practical due to its process simplicity and effective approach. In this study, different polymer composition of thermally labile additives such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) were introduced into the BTDA-TDI/MDI (P84-copolyimide) polymer solution.
