Pervaporation is a promising membrane technology for separation of aqueous organic solution particularly azeotrope and close-boiling point compounds. However, most of pervaporation membranes are based on hydrophilic polymers that suffer decline of separation performance due to their swelling in aqueous solution. Here we present a copolymer synthetic strategy for preparation of hydrophobic polymer pervaporation membrane with hierarchical porosity via uniting both rigid and flexible segments. The synthesized membrane has well-defined micropores and high free volume faction of 8.03% with cavity size of 0.476 nm, and demonstrate exceptional performance with high permeability and selectivity for dehydration of alcohols. In the pervaporation of ethanol-water azeotrope, the membrane displays the high permeabtion flux of 74.6 mu m kg m(-2) h(-1) and water selectivity of 34 (separation factor of 732) at 30 degrees C. The developed strategy has excellent potential for synthesizing copolymers for high-efficient pervaporation membranes. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
