- Abstract
- In chemical separation, thin membranes exhibit high selectivity, but often require a support at the expense of permeance. Here, we report a pinhole-free polymeric layer synthesized within freestanding carbon nanotube buckypaper through vapor-liquid interfacial polymerization (VLIP). The VLIP process results in thin, smooth and uniform polyamide and imide films. The scaffold reinforces the nanofilm, defines the membrane thickness, and introduces an additional transport mechanism. Our membranes exhibit superior gas selectivity and osmotic semipermeability. Plasticization resistance and high permeance in hydrocarbon separation together with a considerable improvement in water-salt permselectivity highlight their potential as new membrane architecture for chemical separation.
