Solid-state NMR has been used to study mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) prepared with a metal-organic framework (MOF, UiO-66) and two different high molecular weight polymers (PEO and PVDF). 13 C and 1 H NMR data provide overwhelming evidence that most UiO-66 organic linkers are within 1 nm of PEO, which indicates that PEO is homogeneously distributed throughout the MOF. Systematic changes in MOF 13 C NMR peak positions and 1 H NMR line widths, as well as dramatic reductions in the MOF 1 H T 1ρ relaxation times, are observed as the PEO content increases, and when the pores have been filled, a further increase in PEO results in the formation of semicrystalline PEO outside the UiO-66 particles. In contrast, similar studies on PVDF MMMs show that the polymer contacts only a small fraction (<20%) of the MOF linkers. Simulations confirm that PEO penetrates into UiO-66 more easily than does PVDF. These studies are among the first to provide experimental insights into MOF-polymer interactions in an MMM. |
