In this work we report the synthesis of a new diamine monomer, 1-aclamantylmethyl[3,5-bis-{2'-trifluoromethyl-4'-(4 ''-aminophenyl)phenoxy}lbenzoate and its polymerization with four different diacids. The monomer and the prepared poly(ether amide)s (PM) were characterized by elemental analyses, NlV1R, and FM techniques. The polymers were further characterized by GPC and thermal techniques and the mechanical properties of the films prepared from these polymers are also reported. The permeability of CH4, N-2, O-2 and CO2 through these PA membranes was investigated at three different temperatures (35, 45 and 55 degrees C) under an applied upstream pressure of 3.5 bar. The PA 9B containing hexafluoroisopropylidene moiety exhibited highest permselectivity in the series (for, O-2/N-2=8.2 and CO2/CH4 = 41.7) whereas PA 9A containing tert-butyl moiety exhibited highest gas permeability (P-CO2 = 34 and P-O2 = 9.5). The gas transport properties have been correlated with the polymer structures with respect to their glass transition temperature, chain packing and dielectric constant values. The activation energies of the permeation and diffusion processes were calculated. (C) 2013 Elsevier BM. All rights reserved.
