Abstract

Polyimides were synthesized using 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltertracarboxylic dianhydride, (BPDA), tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TAEA) and tested for CO2 adsorption. They were characterized by FT-IR, TGA, DSC and BET techniques. The polyimides were thermally stable upto 400 °C. The polyimide, P2 with significant amount of TEPA and TAEA exhibited higher CO2 adsorption of about 6 wt% at 30 °C than others. The polyimide with only TEPA or TAEA exhibited lower CO2 adsorption. Hence, presence of both the amines is important for high CO2 uptake.
