Abstract
The modification of poly(oxindole biphenylylene) (POXI) membranes by
photoinduced thiol-yne click approach is presented. Initially, a
propargyl-functionalized porous poly(oxindole biphenylylene) (POXI-PG)
membrane was prepared by condensation reaction of isatin and aromatic
hydrocarbons with a superacid-catalyst. Subsequently, the solution and
surface functionalization of POXI-PG by one-step photoinitiated
thiol-yne click reaction with various thiol functional molecules, namely
pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) (PETMP),
1,2-ethanedithiol (EDT) and thiol modified poly(ethylene glycol) methyl
ether (PEG-SH) was demonstrated. The spectral and thermal investigations
via FT-IR, 1H NMR, XPS and DSC analyses confirmed the
success of the modification process. The POXI-PG membranes crosslinked
with PETMP had the molecular weight cut off (MWCO) reduced from 75 to
5 kg mol−1. They became stable in different organic solvents with permeations between 0.4 and 2.8 L m−2 h−1 bar−1.
