The presence of cyano, methyl, and silicon-methyl groups was confirmed by FTIR analysis. Contact angle analysis revealed the membranes’ hydrophilic nature. Solvent resistance tests conducted under vortex and ultrasonic treatments (45 and 60 min) demonstrated a preference order of acetonitrile > methanol > water. Furthermore, the membranes exhibited stability over 48 h when exposed to different pH conditions (1, 3, 6, and 9), with negligible mass losses below 1%. The thermogravimetric analysis showed that the material was stable until 400 °C. Finally, the sorption analysis showed its capacity to detect furfural, 2-furylmethylketone, 5-methylfurfural, and 2-methyl 2-furoate. The thicker membrane was able to adsorb and slightly desorb a higher concentration of furanic compounds due to its high polarity provided by the addition of the cyano groups. The results indicated that the membranes may be suitable for sorbent materials in extracting and enriching organic compounds. metadata Pérez-Padilla, Yamile; Aguilar-Vega, Manuel; Uc-Cayetano, Erbin Guillermo; Esparza-Ruiz, Adriana; Yam Cervantes, Marcial Alfredo y Muñoz-Rodríguez, David mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, marcial.yam@unini.edu.mx, SIN ESPECIFICAR (2023) Evaluation of Organofunctionalized Polydimethylsiloxane Films for the Extraction of Furanic Compounds.
