Dual Anion-Cation Crosslinked Poly(ionic liquid) Composite Membranes for Enhanced CO2 Separation
Herein, we propose a strategy of developing novel dual anionic-cationic crosslinked poly(IL)-IL composite membranes via a photopolymerization method for enhanced CO2 separations. These are the first examples of dually photopolymerized anionic-cationic poly(IL)-IL composite systems, in which the backbones of poly(IL)s feature both pendant anions and cations without any mobile counterions unlike poly(IL) reported so far in the literature. A new type of dual photopolymerizable anionic-cationic IL (DIL) monomer having methacrylate functional group tethered with highly delocalized sulfonimide anion (–SO2–N(-)–SO2–C7H7) and a vinylimidazolium counterion ([C4(vim)](+)) was successfully synthesized and photopolymerized with four distinct amounts of free IL with a structurally analogous cation ([C4(mim)][Tf2N]) and 20 wt% PEGDA crosslinker, offering novel composite matrices. Further, the structure-property relationships as well as gas separation behaviors of the four newly developed dual anioniccationic poly(IL)-IL composite membranes were extensively characterized by FT-IR, DSC, and XRD. All of the newly developed dual anionic-cationic poly(IL)-IL composite membranes displayed outstanding permselectivites for CO2/CH4, CO2/N2, and CO2/H2 gas pairs together with reasonable CO2 permeabilities. As a result, all the dual anionic-cationic poly(IL)-IL composite membranes outperformed the common poly(IL)-IL systems in the upper bound limit plots with best CO2 permeability of 40 barrer and CO2/CH4 permselectivity of 85. This study may pave a new platform to explore countless potential poly(IL)-IL composites for selective separation of CO2 from flue gas, natural gas, and syngas streams.

Improving Elemental Mercury Recovery in DWPF by pH and Ionic Strength Studies Using Laboratory Scale Replica – 26141
In order to safely disposition nuclear material at large scales, the Savannah River Site (SRS) constructed the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) for the removal of actinides, the Saltstone facility for preparation of a low-level cementitious grout, and the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) for the vitrification of high-level waste (HLW). A few years after processing began, high concentrations of mercury were discovered in cementitious waste at the Saltstone facility which initiated a search for the source of mercury during processing at these SRS facilities. Mercury serves as a catalyst in the dissolution of spent nuclear fuel, aluminum-actinide alloys, for actinide recovery, but not enough is known about the behavior and properties of mercury within these process streams.
Self-Healing Behavior of Ethylene-Based Ionomers
The self-healing behavior of poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMAA)-based ionomers holds tremendous potential for use in a wide variety of unique applications. However, to effectively utilize this self-healing behavior and to design novel materials which possess this ability, the mechanism by which they heal must first be understood ionomers are a class of polymers that can be described as copolymers containing less than 15 mol% ionic content whereby the bulk properties are governed by ionic interactions within the polymer. These ionic groups aggregate into discrete regions known as multiplets which overlap forming clusters that act as physical cross-links profoundly influencing the bulk physical properties. These clusters possess an order-disorder transition (T(sub i)) where the clustered regions may rearrange themselves given time and stimuli. Recognizing the strong influence of these ionic regions on other well understood ionomer properties, their role in self-heating behavior will be assessed. The self-healing behavior is observed following projectile puncture. It has been suggested that during impact energy is passed to the ionomer material, heating it to the melt state. After penetration, it is proposed that the ionic regions maintain their attractions and flow together patching the hole. Thus, the importance of this ionic character and is unique interaction must be established. This will be accomplished through examination of materials with varying ionic content and through the analysis of the T(sub i). The specific ionomer systems examined include a number of ethylene-based materials. Materials of varying ionic content, including the non-ionic base copolymers, will be examined by peel tests, projectile impact and DSC analysis. The information will also be compared with some basic data on LDPE material.
