Abstract
The membrane processability of the polyamide [NH(CH 2 ) 3 Si(Me) 2 OSi(Me) 2 (CH 2 ) 3 NHCO-Ar-CO] n (Ar= Ph, C 5 H 3 N) was enhanced by treating with 1,5-dichlorohexamethyltrisiloxane. The improvement was due to both the enhancement of the molecuar weight by the reaction of the modifier with the polyamide and the plasticization by the converted modifier, which exists as grafts and additives in the membrane. Moreover, the modified polyamides were soluble and thier oxygen permselectivity increased
