摘要

Polyamide 1012 (PA1012) can be dissolved in mixed solvents due to polar segment and non-polar segment and membranes are prepared by using mixed ‘non-solvents’ evaporation induced phase separation (MNEIPS) within 60 s. The morphology of porous PA1012 films depends on solution concentration

solvent ratio and solvent evaporation rate.

Abstract

Long-chain polyamides (LCPAs) are a class of bio-based polymers that can bridge conventional polyoleﬁns and polycondensates. In this work

taking the advantage of the amphiphilic nature of polyamide 1012 (PA1012)

membranes were prepared by using a non-conventional phase separation approach

namely

mixed ‘non-solvents’ evaporation induced phase separation (MNEIPS). PA1012 can be dissolved in a mixture of polar and non-polar solvents

both of which are non-solvents of PA1012. During the sequential evaporation of the two solvents

the phase separation of PA1012 occurred

inducing the formation of porous structures. We investigated the process of membrane formation in detail

with a specific focus on the liquid-liquid and liquid-solid phase transitions involved. Moreover

we studied the influence of critical factors

such as polymer concentration and mixed-solvent ratio

on the morphologies and properties of PA1012 membranes. This study provides new insights into the development of porous materials based on long-chain polycondensates.
