Notes:
Nylon-3 prepared by hydrogen transfer polymerization of acrylic amide was N-methoxymethylated by paraformaldehyde/methanol in its formic acid solution. This product was soluble in water, and we were able to obtain a transparent membrane by casting of the solution. Absorbance of the NH group on IR spectrum was decreased by methoxymethylation, and from this depression of absorbance a degree of N-methoxymethylation of about 33% was obtained which agreed with the value from elemental analysis. DSC curve of this polymer showed a endothermic peak at 80°C which was assumed to be the Tg and a exothermic peak starting at 180°C which was assumed to be the crosslinking reaction. The degree of crystalinity of this polymer was about 40% which was obtained by deuterium exchange reaction with deuterium oxide. By heating of this polymer membrane up to 190°C, it was changed to an insoluble polymer by the crosslinkage reaction between methoxymethyle and unreacted amide groups. This insoluble polymer membrane was used for the separation of water/alcohol mixture by the pervaporation technique. Through the membrane, water was permeated selectively compared with alcohol and the selective permeation was found to increase by raising the heat treatment temperature.
