The ability of membrane technologies to dynamically tune the transport behavior for gases and liquids is critical for their applications. Although various methods have been developed to improve membrane success, tradeoffs still exist among their properties, such as permeability, selectivity, fouling resistance, and stability, which can greatly affect the performance of membranes. Existing elastomeric membrane designs can provide antifracture properties and flexibility; however, these designs still face certain challenges, such as low tensile strength and reliability. Additionally, researchers have not yet thoroughly developed membranes that can avoid fouling issues while realizing precise dynamic control over the transport substances. In this study, we show a versatile strategy for preparing graphene oxide-reinforced elastomeric liquid gating membranes that can finely modulate and dynamically tune the sorting of a wide range of gases and liquids under constant applied pressures. Moreover, the produced membranes exhibit antifouling properties and are adaptable to different length scales, pressures, and environments. The filling of graphene oxide in the thermoplastic polyurethane matrix enhances the composites through hydrogen bonds. Experiments and theoretical calculations are carried out to demonstrate the stability of our system. Our membrane exhibits good stretchability, recovery, and durability due to the elastic nature of the solid matrix and dynamic nature of the gating liquid. Dynamic control over the transport of gases and liquids is achieved through our optimized interfacial design and controllable pore deformation, which is induced by mechanical stimuli. Our strategy will create new opportunities for many applications, such as gas-involved chemical reactions, multiphase separation, microfluidics, multiphase microreactors, and particulate material synthesis.

高度可拉伸且可靠的氧化石墨烯增强液体浇注膜,用于可调气体/液体传输



膜技术动态调整气体和液体传输行为的能力对其应用至关重要。尽管已经开发了各种方法来提高膜的成功率,但它们的性能之间仍然存在权衡,例如渗透性、选择性、抗污染性和稳定性,这会极大地影响膜的性能。现有的弹性体膜设计可以提供抗断裂性能和灵活性;然而,这些设计仍然面临某些挑战,例如抗拉强度和可靠性低。此外,研究人员尚未彻底开发出可以避免污染问题同时实现对传输物质的精确动态控制的膜。在这项研究中,我们展示了一种制备氧化石墨烯增强弹性液体门控膜的通用策略,该膜可以在恒定的施加压力下精细调节和动态调整各种气体和液体的分类。此外,所生产的膜具有防污性能,并且适用于不同的长度尺度、压力和环境。热塑性聚氨酯基体中填充氧化石墨烯通过氢键增强复合材料。进行实验和理论计算来证明我们系统的稳定性。由于固体基质的弹性性质和浇注液体的动态性质,我们的膜表现出良好的拉伸性、恢复性和耐用性。通过我们优化的界面设计和由机械刺激引起的可控孔隙变形,实现了对气体和液体传输的动态控制。 我们的策略将为许多应用创造新的机会,例如涉及气体的化学反应、多相分离、微流体、多相微反应器和颗粒材料合成。
