Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:An encapsulated fiber composition (typically resulting from an electrospinning process) containing: (i) a lengthwise core portion of the fiber comprising an amine-containing material for adsorbing carbon dioxide; and (ii) a lengthwise sheath portion of the fiber surrounding said lengthwise core portion, wherein the lengthwise sheath portion comprises a microporous polymer. Particularly described are fiber compositions containing a nanoparticle organic hybrid material (NOHM) or organoamine or amine-containing sorbent (e.g., PEI or TEPA) in a core portion of the fiber and a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM), such as PIM-1 or PIM-2, or PAN or PAN combined with a polysilazane or polysiloxane in a sheath portion of the fiber. A method of using the fiber composition to capture carbon dioxide, such as from ambient air, is also described.
