Abstract

Poly(ether-b-amide) (PEBAX) thermoplastic elastomers are used in high flux applications such as gas separation membranes. PEBAX grades with high polyether soft block content are favorable for gas separation applications due to a high permeability. Permeability measurements on uniaxially oriented PEBAX films in the stretched and recovered state showed a significant decrease between the unoriented films and 400% strained films. WAXS and DSC were used to identify strain-induced crystallization of the polyether blocks, resulting in a 3.5x permeability decrease for oriented PEBAX films.
