Özet

The effects of sodium y zeolite (NaY-zeolite) on crosslinked Polyvinyl alcohol (CrPVA) composite films were investigated. The spectroscopic analysis showed that crosslinks were formed between PVA, Tartaric acid (TA), and NaY-zeolite particles. The thermal stability of the CrPVA film was improved with the addition of zeolite. Optimum thermal stability was observed for 5 wt % zeolite content. It can be seen that the mechanical properties also improved for 5 wt % zeolite-doped CrPVA composite films when compared with CrPVA. It was observed that Young's modulus increased 54.14 to 74.49 MPa. While the degree of crystallinity of the composite film decreased from 20.42 to 14.77% due to zeolite content. This is thought to be due to the increase in the structure's crosslinking rate. The utilization of TA and NaY zeolite in membrane applications may be considered an advantage for improving the mechanical characteristics and the recyclability of membrane technology.
