Abstract

AgCl/C₁₂mimCl-PMMA inorganic-organic hybrid membranes were prepared via ionic liquid-microemulsion polymerization. And in this microemulsion system, ionic liquid (1-dodecyl-3-methyl imidazoium chloride) served as the surfactant, methyl methacrylate served as the oil. The morphology, particle size and size distribution were characterized by UV-vis and TEM. The results revealed that the AgCl nanoparticles in microemulsion were spherical or sphere-like, the average diameter was below 8nm and its attribution was relatively narrow. The SEM showed AgCl nanoparticles were evenly dispersed in hybrid membranes. The swelling-sorption behaviors of the cyclohexane/cyclohexene in hybrid membranes were studied. The results indicated that the hybrid membranes´ maximum swelling-sorption amount of cyclohexene was up to 447, which was larger than that of cyclohexane(96).
