Abstract
The separation factor with respect to a gas binary of a selectively gas permeable membrane of a fluoropolymer can be increased by fabricating the membrane from a composition of a blend of the fluoropolymer with a nonfugitive, nonpolymeric fluorinated adjuvant. The composition can be made by dissolving the adjuvant and the polymer in a suitably compatible solvent then forming the membrane from the solution for example by casting, dipping, or spraying the solution on a substrate and devolatilizing the solvent. The extent of the selectivity increase varies widely with the combination of fluoropolymer and adjuvant and largely increases in direct relation with the proportion of adjuvant in the membrane composition. Novel membranes of fluoropolymers adapted for separation of chemically aggressive gases can be made to have higher selectivity than previously available from the adjuvant free fluoropolymers
