Thermal Decomposition Characteristics of Poly((4-Vinylbenzyl) Trimethylammonium Bis (Trifluoromethanesulfonimide)) Studied by Pyrolysis-GS / MS

Abstract:

Over the past decades, significant advances have been made in the development and research of gas separation membranes based on ionic liquids (IL) and their polymer analogs (PIL) for membrane separation of "acid gases" such as CO₂ and H₂S from gas mixtures. Polymers containing various amino groups are of great interest for the selective separation of acid gases from gas mixtures, since ammonia and its derivatives are used in conventional purification. In this work, we have synthesized a monomeric ionic liquid based on 4 vinylbenzyl chloride with included triethylamine by the Menshutkin reaction. Further, on its basis, polymer ionic liquids were obtained by the method of free radical polymerization, then an anion exchange reaction was carried out to replace the Cl anion with Tf₂N. To analyze the process of thermal pyrolysis of poly [VBTEA-Tf₂N] a pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometer (Py-GC/MS) was employed in this research. The obtained materials, which are high molecular weight compounds, can be used to obtain polymer membranes of various architectures by traditional methods: both non-porous symmetric membranes and microporous asymmetric membranes.
