Preparation and long term stability studies of carbon dioxide adsorbents based on hyperbranched polymers

The article reports preparation and characterization of CO2 adsorbents based on hyperbranched polyamines and polyglycerols. Hyperbranched polyglycerol containing primary amine groups (A-HBPG) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) showed to be effective in CO2 capture from the ambient air. Adsorbents based on those polymers were stable for at least 17 adsorption/desorption cycles provided the desorption was performed in oxygen free atmosphere. Amine containing hyperbranched polymers are promising materials for CO2 capture.
