Abstract

A new approach to the preparation of hydrophobic porous polymers has been proposed. Three series of porous polymers which pores equally well-absorbed as water and organic liquids (benzene and iso-octane) were synthesized by visible light polymerization from compositions based on three different dimethacrylic esters with n-butanol. Three block copolymers based on N-vinylpyrrolidone and 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl methacrylate, differing in the length of the poly-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl methacrylate) block, were synthesized for the purpose of hydrophobization of such porous polymers. A distinctive feature of synthesized block copolymers is that they are soluble only in methanol. It has been found that the treatment of porous polymers only with 2 wt.% of block copolymer methanol solution leads to a decrease water uptake by an order of magnitude, and the absorption of organic liquids does not change. In the course of the study it was possible to obtain a hydrophobic porous polymer sample that has water contact angle θ = 121° and a low value of the polar component of the surface Gibbs energy (\( {\gamma}_s^p=0.2 \) mJ·m−2). The fundamental possibility of using such material for purification of organic liquids from water is shown.
