Abstract: Poly(2,6-dimethylphenylene oxide) (PFO) has been brominated and crosslinked withammonia, ethylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine and hexamethylenetetramine. It was foundthat the oxygen permeability of the polymer membrane increased with the aryl-bromine con-tent in BrPPO and decreased with the benzyl-bromine content in BrPPO. NH3-crosslinkingof BrPPO increased the oxygen permeability. Ethylenediamine-crosslinking of BrPPO increasedthe selectivity of oxygen over nitrogen significantly. Through crosslinking of benzyl-bromi-nated PPO a solvent resistant membrane with high selectivity of oxygen over nitrogen wasobtained.

Key words: PPO, bromination, crosslinking, permeability, gas separation membrane
