Abstract

Phenylene-bridged cross-linked poly(alkoxysilane)s produced by the condensation of 1,4-bis(triethoxysilyl) benzene (BTEB) with different lengths of aliphatic diols in proper stoichiometric ratios were successfully prepared. The synthesized phenylene-bridged poly(alkoxysilane)s were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), solid-state 13C and 29Si cross polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (CP-MAS NMR), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The oil and organic solvent uptake capacity, reusability, absorption and desorption kinetics of cross-linked polymers were examined. The effect of chain length of the linear diol monomers on the polymer-solvent interaction was also investigated. The swelling experiments were conducted in oils such as gasoline, euro diesel and organic solvents such as dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, benzene and toluene. All the synthesized polymers have high and fast swelling properties in oils and organic solvents. The reutilize properties of polymer in organic solvents were also investigated.
