Abstract
Polymeric membrane materials with highly developed intrinsic microporosity for gas separation are studied. The porosity can be essentially improved by filling the polymer with nonorganic components (zeolites). This porosity, herein referred to as artificially induced, turned out, in some cases, to be higher than that of the constituent components. The reasons for this effect are not always clear. To gain additional insights into the nature of this effect, an experimental study is suggested with the use of a combination of two methods related by being based on track processes: positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy PALS and thermostimulated luminescence (TSL). The present paper summarizes and discusses both recently published results and completely new data.
