Fabrication of ceramic gas separation membranes by EB crosslinking without oxygen

Sugimoto, Masaki; Takeyama, Akinori; Yoshikawa, Masahito

SiC membranes synthesized from precursor polymers have an excellent thermal and corrosion resistances and the structure is amorphous with nano-hole which has gas permeability. Therefore, the membranes are expected as a hydrogen separation filter that can be used in the severe environment. However, the improvement of the amount of the hydrogen penetration and the separation ratio is required. In this research, the possibility of controlling the gas penetration of the SiC membranes by EB crosslinking technique was examined.
