In this paper we describe the interfacial synthesis of conjugated microporous polymers (CMP) on sacrificial substrates, and the dissolution of the substrate for the preparation of freestanding CMP nanomembranes. In addition, we will describe how the fragile nanomembranes can be transferred to other substrates.
CMP作为大表面积材料已经引起了近来越来越大的兴趣,由于它们的高变异性的官能团的组合掺入其优异的热和化学稳定性,和低的密度。然而,它们的不溶性质会产生问题在它们的处理,因为,如旋涂通常适用技术是不可用的。特别是对于膜应用,其中CMP为薄膜的处理是可取的,则处理问题阻碍他们的商业应用。
这里,我们描述在通过分子层 – 层(LBL)合成官能化基底的CMP薄膜的界面合成。此过程允许具有所需厚度和组成,甚至所需组成梯度的薄膜的制备。
使用牺牲载体允许通过后溶解载体的独立式膜的制备的合成。为了处理这种超薄独立的膜与牺牲涂料的保护表现出极大的承诺,避免了纳米薄膜破裂。到的纳米薄膜转移到期望的基材,所述涂覆的膜upfloated在空气 – 液体界面,然后通过浸涂传送。
The preparation of ultra-thin polymer membranes is of high interest for applications in gas separation and nanofiltration. Challenges in the synthesis are represented by (a) the control of the membrane thickness and the homogeneity and (b) transfer of such fragile membranes. To overcome challenge (a), molecular layer-by-layer synthesis1 has shown great promise in controlling the thickness and homogeneity of thin films grown at the solid-liquid interface.2,3 Controlling the number of layers linearly controls the film thickness. The l-b-l method has been successfully used to fabricate surface mounted metal organic frameworks (SURMOFs),4-7 also the synthesis of thin polymer films via l-b-l reaction of polymer chains was demonstrated.8 The challenge (b) concerns the handling of these ultra-thin membranes. To avoid rupture or wrinkling of the nanomembranes sacrificial supports of coatings have shown great promise. 9
Here we will present a detailed protocol for synthesis of conjugated microporous polymer (CMP)10-13 thin films through sequential addition of the molecular building blocks, with desired thickness and composition. The preparation of free-standing CMP nanomembranes is achieved by using a sacrificial support. To handle and transfer the CMP nanomembranes to other supports we will describe a simple protocol to protect the membranes with sacrificial coatings and their upfloating to the liquid air interface and subsequent transfer using dip-coating.
对于在CMP-膜的合成催化剂的溶液必须是新鲜。破碎的催化剂(即,氧化的)由溶液的蓝色着色指示。新鲜的溶液是无色的。
一个关键点是旋涂PMMA后裁切云母基材的边缘。另外在基板的缺陷应该削减, 即,每个点是聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯可以来缺失金层,因为在与云母基板接触。否则金层不能从云母基板容易剥离。另外关于金层的云母基材支队,支队开始在?…
