Sorption properties of polymer desiccant materials.

Author(s) : HOSATTE S., DIGNARD-BAILEY L., COTE R.

Summary

Polymer materials have recently been identified as promising candidates for desiccant cooling applications but only a few studies on their behaviour with water vapour have been reported. The paper is concerned with the experimental and associated theoretical studies of modifying the water vapour sorption properties of polymer materials by varying the functional groups on the polymer backbones. Two series of polymers containing cationic sites have been prepared and doped with chloride and sulfate anions. The sorption of water vapour by these polymers has been measured with a thermogravimetric balance and the property changes as a function of the anion are interpreted with the theory. The results are given as well as some information on this new sorption phenomenon.
