Abstract

Provided is a method for preparing a gas separation membrane, the method including forming a porous layer by coating a hydrophilic polymer solution on a porous substrate; and forming an active layer by coating a composition for forming an active layer including a polymer of Chemical Formula 1 on the porous layer,

wherein in Chemical Formula 1, n is the number of a repeating unit, and is an integer of 500 to 3,000, and R1 to R5 are the same as or different from each other, and each independently is hydrogen, an alkyl group, or —(C═O)R6, and R6 is an alkyl group, wherein the polymer of Chemical Formula 1 is included in an amount from 1% by weight to 5% by weight based on the composition for forming an active layer,
and a gas separation membrane prepared using the same.

First claim

wherein in Chemical Formula 1:
n is a number of a repeating unit, and is an integer of 500 to 3,000; and
R1 to R5 are the same as or different from each other, and each independently is hydrogen, an alkyl group, or —(C═O)R6, and R6 is an alkyl group.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition for forming an active layer further includes nitromethane.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the coating of the composition for forming an active layer is performed using slot coating.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of R1 and R3 to R5 is an alkyl group, and R2 is —(C═O)R6.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophilic polymer is polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polycarbonate, polyethylene oxide, polyimide, polyetherimide, polyetheretherketone, polypropylene, polymethylpentene, polymethyl chloride or polyvinylidene fluoride.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer of Chemical Formula 1 has a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 100,000 to 700,000 g/mol.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer of Chemical Formula 1 has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 80,000 to 400,000 g/mol.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising preparing a gutter layer on the porous layer after the forming of the porous layer and before the forming of the active layer.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising preparing a protective layer on the active layer after the forming of the active layer.

10. A gas separation membrane comprising:
a porous layer; and
an active layer including a polymer of the following Chemical Formula 1 formed on the porous layer,
