Abstract: Three kinds of polyurethane (PU) membranes were prepared by solution polymerization from soft segments including polyethyleneglycol adipate (PEGA) and polybutadiene (HTPB), and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a kind of new chain extender was used. The structures and thermal properties of PU membranes were characterized by FTIR and DSC. The swelling degrees and pervaporation performances to water/ethanol mixtures were also investigated. The results showed that the swelling degree increased with β-CD added, and PEGA-based PU membranes were better swelled than HTPB-based in water/ethanol mixtures. All these membranes were water selective in pervaporation test. The membranes with HTPB as soft segments had better separation properties than that with PEGA, and PU membranes with β-CD as chain extender obtained higher flux but lower selectivity than those without β-CD. The HTPB-based PU membranes without β-CD had a flux of 23.60 kg?μm?m-2?h-1 and separation factor of 317.50 for 10 wt% water in the water/ethanol mixture at 40 °C.
