Experimental and computational study on direct fluorination of PEEKWC membranes

Membranes modification of poly-ether-ether ketone with cardo group (PEEK-WC) by direct fluorination and simulations was achieved in order to investigate the fluorinations effect on the morphology and gas perm-selectivity of PEEK-WC membranes. The thicknesses of the fluorinated layers as function of the fluorination extent were measured and then their average densities were obtained. The structures of two fluorinated PEEK-WC monomers were defined...
