Abstract

In this work, the solubility of a high-molecular-weight homopolymer, a ladder polyphenylsilsesquioxane, was studied in different classes of solvents, including alcohols, aprotic solvents, ketones, alkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. The Hansen parameters and the parameter of long-range interaction between the polymer and the solvent were analyzed. The insolubility of L-PPSQ in a wide range of solvents allows for expecting that the properties of a membrane on its basis would be stable during operation in these media. At the same time, aprotic solvents are well suited for the preparation of membranes based on L-PPSQ by the solution phase inversion method.
