Sulfonated polysulfone
Abstract
Polysulfone has been sulfonated to varying degrees using a sulfur trioxide–triethyl phosphate complex as the sulfonating agent. These conditions are suitable for surface sulfonation as well as solution sulfonation. The neutralized, sodium salt form is much more stable than the free acid form. The glass transition temperature of polysulfone is increased by as much as 130°C (i.e., to 310°C) by the introduction of SO3Na groups. Sulfonation also causes a major shift in the low-temperature (−100°C) transition of polysulfone. Compositions of intermediate degree of sulfonation, containing 0.5 SO3Na groups per polysulfone repeat unit, are melt processable. This composition also displays the best balance of properties. Water absorption, which exerts a large influence on mechanical properties, ranges from 1% to 61%, depending upon degree of sulfonation and sorption conditions. Water absorption and desorption curves show non-Fickian behavior. Compositions of intermediate degree of sulfonation display optimum reverse osmosis desalination behavior. Gas permeability is significantly reduced by sulfonation. Overall behavior is consistent with an ionomer-type structure.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
