Abstract

The effect of postpolymerization epoxidation of metathesis polynorbornenes on their gas-transport behavior is studied. For two polymers, unsubstituted polynorbornene and poly(trimethylsilylnorbornene), postpolymerization modification via double bonds is implemented by epoxidation under the action of m-chloroperbenzoic acid to high conversions (95–100%). For initial polymers and their epoxidation products, the permeability and diffusion coefficients are measured and the solubility coefficients are estimated. It is shown that, for both initial polymers, functionalization leads to a marked reduction in permeability (by a factor of 2–10) and diffusion coefficients (by a factor of 3–10); simultaneously, the separation factors increase by a factor of 2–6. Although for all gases the solubility coefficients decrease as a result of epoxidation, the coefficients of CO2 solubility in both epoxidated polymers increase. This effect may be explained by specific interactions of a СО2 molecule possessing the quadrupole moment with С–О–С bonds appearing in a polymer.
