Abstract
AbstractSynthesis and gas permeation measurements of several types of polymers from methylstyrene derivatives containing mono‐and bis(trialkylsilyl) group(s) were carried out. Upon radical homo‐and co‐polymerization of silicon‐containing monomers high‐molecular‐weight polymers were obtained. Results from gas permeation measurements showed that these types of silicon‐containing polymers exhibit fairly high oxygen permselectivity (ratio of oxygen and nitrogen permeation coefficients P/P = 3,1 − 4,6), keeping the oxygen permeation coefficients (P) in the range of between 1,4 · 10−9 and 4,5·10−9 cm3 (STP) · cm · cm−2 · s−1 · cmHg−1. From time lag measurements, it was found that permeation coefficients are dependent on the solubility of gases in the membranes rather than on diffusivity. Actually, the oxygen solubility coefficients increase with increasing silicon content in the polymers. Permselectivity of oxygen against nitrogen is governed by polymer constitution rather than by silicon content.
