Abstract
For the first time, poly(phenylene sulfones) (PPSFs) with chlorine and hydroxyl terminal groups are synthesized and tested for casting high-performance flat-sheet ultrafiltration membranes. The synthesis of PPSFs is carried out in dimethylacetamide at various ratios of 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl and 4,4-dichlorodiphenyl sulfone monomers. Two samples with the predominant content of hydroxyl (PPSF-ОН) and chlorine (PPSF-Cl) terminal groups are studied by NMR spectroscopy, GPC, and DSC methods. The coagulation values of polymer solutions in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and the mechanical properties and hydrophilicity of polymer materials are determined. Both PPSF samples exhibit high tensile strength values at a level of 16 MPa. Using the method of precipitation of PPSF solutions in NMP with PEG-400 additives into water flat-sheet porous asymmetric membranes with a mesoporous (a pore diameter of about 7 nm) thin outer layer and fingerlike macropores in the substrate layer are obtained. An increase in the proportion of hydroxyl terminal groups enhances the hydrophilicity of the polymer. This, in turn, allows for the preparation of flat-sheet membranes from PPSF-ОН with a water permeability of 66 L/(m2 h bar), which is 1.5 times higher than the water permeability of the PPSF-Cl membrane. Meanwhile, both membranes demonstrate a Blue Dextran (Mw = 70 000 g mol–1) rejection of 99.9%.

Abstract
Surface modification of heterogeneous MA-41 anion-exchange membranes with cerium oxide particles, including those with a surface functionalized with phosphoric acid groups, was carried out. The resulting composite membranes were characterized by SEM, TGA, IR spectroscopy, and voltammetry. For membranes in various ionic forms, their conductivity, the number of anion transfers, as well as the selective permeability coefficients of singly and doubly charged anions in the process of electrodialysis desalting were determined. The modifying layer of cerium oxide practically does not change the conductivity of the membranes, but increases their selectivity to singly charged anions. Thus, the value of the selective permeability coefficient (P({text{C}}{{{text{l}}}^{ - }}{text{/SO}}_{4}^{{2 - }})) of the modified MA-41 membrane increases from 0.82 to 1.01, and (P({text{NO}}_{3}^{ - }{text{/SO}}_{4}^{{2 - }})) increases from 1.38 to 1.60.

Abstract
A comprehensive study of hemocompatibility and gas permeability of 1,2-disubstituted polyacetylenes, namely poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) and poly(4-methyl-2-pentyne), was carried out. The polymers were synthesized started from 1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne and 4-methyl-2-pentynemonomers on the catalytic systems NbCl5 and NbCl5/n-Bu4Sn to form homopolymers containing 50 and 55% cis-units, respectively. The comparison of the obtained polyacetylenes and the thermoplastic polyolefin, poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) that currently is widely used as a thin-film coating of hollow fiber membranes for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation of blood (ECMO), was performed. The investigated polymers are highly hemocompatible as shown by morphofunctional status of blood cells analysis and mesenchymal multipotent stromal bone marrow cells culture of tissue donors. In terms of hemocompatibility, poly(4-methyl-2-pentyne) was superior to poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) and was comparable to poly(4-methyl-1-pentene). The studied polyacetylenes were shown to be significantly more permeable on oxygen and carbon dioxide than poly(4-methyl-1-pentene): poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) is more permeable in 320 and 400 times, whereas poly(4-methyl-2-pentyne) is more permeable in 60 and 90 times, respectively. These parameters can significantly reduce the contact area of membranes with blood and reduce the size of oxygenators. Since poly(4-methyl-2-pentyne) has the high gas permeability in combination with the hemocompatibility comparable to poly(4-methyl-1-pentene), this polymer can be recommended as a promising material of a selective membrane layer for ECMO technology.

Abstract
Due to the increased attention to hydrogen energy and the fact that many countries adopted the programs for its development, the question on the prospects for this area becomes relevant. Initially, Russian hydrogen energy development program was focused on producing hydrogen from natural gas. However, owing to the changed international situation and the declared course to the use of “green” hydrogen, the production of which is not associated with the emission of carbon oxides, special attention should obviously be paid to the development of fuel cells (FC) and electrolyzers. In this review, the main advantages and disadvantages of fuel cells of various types are considered. Today, the most developed industry is low-temperature fuel cells based on proton-conducting membranes (proton-exchange membrane fuel cells in English literature). At the same time, fuel cells based on anion-exchange membranes with OH–-ion conductivity are also promising. Their key advantage is the possibility of using significantly cheaper non-perfluorinated membranes and platinum-free catalysts. Considerable attention in the review is paid to fuel cells operating at elevated temperatures. The second part of this review discusses in detail the membranes currently used in these devices and promising materials that can replace them in the near future.

Abstract
To describe gas transport through a bilayer membrane with a thin selective layer on the surface of a highly permeable gutter layer, it is for the first time proposed to take into account the interlayer resistance arising at the boundary of two membrane layers and a model of gas transport through a bilayer membrane is developed. Analytical expressions for the permeability and selectivity of such a membrane are obtained taking into account this resistance. It is shown that interlayer resistance can noticeably affect the transport characteristics of the membrane. It is found that, even in the case of a low diffusion resistance to gas transport of the gutter layer, its sorption and kinetic parameters affect the permeability and selectivity of the membrane as a whole.

Abstract
The coefficients of diffusion permeability of methanol through the synthesized polymer film–sulfonated polystyrene composite membranes and a Nafion-115 membrane are measured. For several composite membranes with significantly different transport properties, the values of the diffusion flux of methanol qdiff through these membranes under the conditions of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) at 60°C and a concentration of the feed solution of 1–2 M are calculated. Direct measurements of the crossover current and methanol crossover qCVA in a DMFC based on these membranes are carried out by cyclic voltammetry (CVA). It is found that the values of qCVA are on average by 15% lower than the corresponding values of qdiff calculated for each membrane based on its individual parameters (area, thickness, permeability coefficient of methanol). It is proposed to explain the observed ratio qCVA < qdiff by the experimentally uncontrolled and, probably, incomplete oxidation of methanol at the cathode. It can be concluded based on the obtained data that the experimental values of the crossover qCVA can noticeably differ from calculated qdiff and real values of methanol crossover in a DMFC without monitoring the degree of oxidation of methanol at the DMFC cathode. A comparative study of the current–voltage characteristics of DMFCs based on the synthesized composite membranes with significantly different transport properties and a Nafion-115 membrane is carried out. It is found that, at 60°C and a concentration of the feed solution of 1 M, the value of methanol crossover has practically no effect on the current–voltage characteristics of the DMFCs.

Abstract
The structural and transport (conductivity, diffusion permeability) properties of cation- and anion-exchange membranes with varied dispersity of ion-exchange resin particles are studied in the work. Experimental MK-40 cation-exchange and MA-41 anion-exchange membranes with variable particle size of the ion-exchange resin of <20 to <71 μm were manufactured at LLC IE Shchekinoazot (Russia). A comparative analysis of the structural characteristics of the membranes by SEM reveals the anisotropy in the properties of the surface and section. The internal phase of the membrane is characterized by high values of the fraction and sizes of the ion exchanger and macroporosity. A comparison of the concentration dependences of the specific conductivity and diffusion permeability of the experimental membranes is performed. The analysis of the values of the model transport-structural parameters shows that an increase in the conductivity of the gel phase from 0.39 up to 0.47 S/m and from 0.15 up to 0.26 S/m for cation- and anion-exchange membranes, respectively, as well as redistribution of current transfer paths in the membrane are observed in the case of a decrease in the particle size of the ion exchanger. An increase in the contribution from transfer of the internal equilibrium solution along the channel is revealed; here, the transfer numbers of counterions slightly change. Information about the changes in the structure of the transport channels in membranes with different particle sizes of the ion exchanger obtained based on the analysis of the model parameters is consistent with the data of independent studies of the morphology of their surface and section by SEM.

Abstract—
This review focuses on the separation properties of membranes based on poly(urethane-imides)—modern products of the chemical modification of polyimides and polyurethanes. The membrane properties of poly(urethane-imides) are reviewed in terms of their chemical design. Membranes based on multiblock (segmented) polymers, polyimides crosslinked by polyurethanes, hybrid poly(urethane-imide) materials, and poly(urethane-imides) subjected to the selective destruction of urethane blocks are considered. The main directions of synthesis of membrane poly(urethane-imides) are described, and reactants and reaction conditions are presented. The transport and separation properties of poly(urethane-imide) membranes in separation, pervaporation, and ultrafiltration processes are addressed in detail. Applications of poly(urethane-imide) membranes are discussed. The review provides insight into the importance of poly(urethane-imide) gas separation and pervaporation membranes for separation processes.

Abstract
Study has been carried out on the separation of oil–water emulsion using polyamide membranes with a pore size of 0.2 μm treated with corona discharge plasma at a voltage of 5–25 kV for 1–5 min. An increase in the productivity and efficiency of separation of oil–water emulsion with corona-treated polyamide membranes has been revealed. An increase in roughness and a change in the chemical structure of the modified membranes are shown.

Abstract
Modeling of ion transport in a three-layer system containing an ion-exchange membrane and two adjacent diffusion layers makes it possible to describe the permselectivity of the membrane by determining its fixed charge density. For theoretical analysis of ion transport in such systems, the Nernst–Planck and Poisson equations are widely used. The article shows that, in the galvanodynamic mode of operation of the membrane system when the density of the flowing current is specified, the Poisson equation in the ion transport model can be replaced by the equation for the displacement current. A new model is constructed in the form of a boundary value problem for the system of the Nernst–Planck and displacement current equations, based on which the concentrations of ions, electric field strength, space charge density, and chronopotentiogram of the ion-exchange membrane and adjacent diffusion layers in a direct current mode are numerically calculated. The calculation results of the proposed model are in a good agreement with the results of the modeling based on the previously described approach using the Nernst–Planck and Poisson equations as well as with the analytical assessment of the transition time. It is shown that, in the case of the three-layer geometry of the problem, the required accuracy of the numerical calculation using the proposed model is achieved with a smaller number of computational mesh elements and takes less (about 26.7-fold for the system parameters under consideration) processor time in comparison with the model based on the Nernst–Planck and Poisson equations.
