Nanocomposite membranes of modified Si nanopartides as inorganic filler in two different polymers from two different categories were developed. Synthesized 6FDA-durene diamine as a glassy polymer and PEBAX-2533 as a block copolymer were used as the polymer matrix to develop the nanocomposite membranes of modified Si nanoparticles in polymer matrix. The scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) results showed nice nano size dispersion of inorganic nanofillers in the polymer matrix in both cases. Pure gas permeation for the gases CO2, CH4, N-2. and O-2 and mixed gas of CO2-N-2 was carried out at 2 and 6 bar for single gas and 2.6 bar for mixed gas using the developed nanocomposite membranes. The loading of inorganic fillers in the PEBAX-2533 polymer matrix resulted in a dramatic increase in gas permeability for all tested gases, while a decrease was observed for CO2/N-2 and CO2/CH4 selectivities with small amounts of loading of filler. With higher loading of inorganic filler, the selectivity did not change, which is probably due to the formation of nanogap around the nanoparticles in the polymer matrix. The dispersion of the nanoparticle inorganic fillers in 6FDA-durene polymer matrix caused an increase on the fractional free volume of the polymer matrix due to the disruption of the polymer chain in the presence of the inorganic fillers. Hence, this disruption resulted in an increase of gas permeability for both single and mixed gases, also with an increase in CO2/N-2 and CO2/CH4 selectivities.
