Abstract
The diffusive behavior of pure and mixed 13CO2, methane, and ethylene in poly(4,4′-hexafluoroisopropylidene diphthalic anhydride-2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine) membranes is investigated using a pulsed gradient spin echo NMR method. Also, proton and 13C spin–lattice and spin–spin relaxation times are measured. In all cases, the relaxation times of sorbed gases are well described assuming a single component, indicating that gas molecules in the membrane recognize one environment. If there is more than one, they are in fast exchange between them, and average values of relaxation times are observed. The diffusion coefficient of 13CO2 is independent of the diffusion time, exhibiting a Fickian behavior in all cases. Meanwhile, those of methane and ethylene vary with the diffusion time, and data analysis was performed considering their non-Fickian behavior. The diffusion coefficient of methane increases in the presence of 13CO2 and ethylene, suggesting that the sieving properties of the glassy polyimi...
