Blend membranes based on block copolymer/ionic liquids

Abstract

The overall objective of this thesis is the generation of a deeper knowledge on the development ofcomposite materials based on non¿porous polymeric membranes containing ILs. The accomplishment ofsuch objective will be complemented by the setup of the respective apparatus and adequateexperimental methodsThe work will focus first of all on demonstrating the possibility of using a commercial block copolymer asa base material when incorporating different ILs. Secondly, in view of the modular morphology of thebase material, the behavior, effect and evolution of these composite membranes will be studied whenblended with ILs
