Using methyl triethoxysilane, tetrabutyl titanate and ethyl acetoacetate as raw materials, the Si-Ti polymer was synthesized to prepare Si-Ti polymer/montmorillonite nanocomposites. The effects of OMMT content on the impact properties and barrier performance of nanocomposites were investigated. The results show that with the increasing of OMMT content, the impact properties of nanocomposites are improved significantly. The impact strength of nanocomposite with 10wt% OMMT is about twice times than that without OMMT. The gas barrier properties of nanocomposites are also improved significantly. Compared with pure Si-Ti polymer, the water absorption of nanocomposite with 6wt% OMMT is decreased by 60.3%.

The effect of the pendant methyl group weakens gas barrier properties owing to small-scale molecular motion and an increase of free volume. These novel copolyesters have great potential for packing-related applications.

This study designed and synthesised a meta-amide-substituted dianiline monomer (m-DABA) as a stereoisomer of DABA, a previously investigated para-amide-substituted dianiline monomer. This new monomer was polymerised with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) to prepare a polyimide film (m-DABPI) in a process similar to that employed in a previous study. The relationship between the substitution positions on the monomer and the gas barrier properties of the polyimide film was investigated via molecular simulation, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD), and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) to gain deeper insights into the gas barrier mechanism. The results showed that compared with the para-substituted DABPI, the m-DABPI exhibited better gas barrier properties, with a water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) and an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) as low as 2.8 g·m−2·d−1 and 3.3 cm3·m−2·d−1, respectively. This was because the meta-linked polyimide molecular chains were more tightly packed, leading to a smaller free volume and lower molecular chain mobility. These properties are not conducive to the permeation of small molecules into the film; thus, the gas barrier properties were improved. The findings have significant implications for the structural design of high-barrier materials and could promote the development of flexible display technology.
