Abstract A detailed investigation has been carried out of the pre-polymerisation modification of the polymer of intrinsic microporosity PIM-1 by the addition of two methyl (Me) groups to its spirobisindane unit to create a new chemically modified PIM-1 analogue, termed MePIM. Our work explores the effects of this modification on the porosity of PIM-1 and hence on its gas sorption properties. MePIM was successfully synthesised using either low (338 K) or high (423 K) temperature syntheses. It was observed that introduction of methyl groups to the spirobisindane part of PIM-1 generates additional microporous spaces, which significantly increases both surface area and hydrogen storage capacity. The BET surface area (N2 at 77 K) was increased by ~ 12.5%, resulting in a ~ 25% increase of hydrogen adsorption after modification. MePIM also maintains the advantages of good processability and thermal stability. This work provides new insights on a facile polymer modification that enables enhanced gas sorption properties.

AbstractWe present a method which allows to calculate gas sorption in complex polymers where, as slow processes, gas induced plasticization and volume dilation are important factors. Since the relaxational swelling of the polymer matrix that is observed at elevated gas concentrations takes hours or days, the swelling process is orders of magnitudes too slow to simulate the respective molecular dynamics in reasonable time and effort. To address this apparent incompatibility of experiment and simulation, we use single representative reference states from experiment and construct atomistic packing models according to these specifications. Gas sorption of CO2 and CH4 was successfully calculated on polysulfone, a 6FDA-polyimide, and a polymer of intrinsic microporosity, PIM-1, at 308 K and pressures up to 50 bar.

Polymer networks were prepared by Steglich esterification using poly(sorbitol adipate) (PSA) and poly(sorbitol adipate)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) mono methyl ether (PSA-g-mPEG12) copolymer. Utilizing multi-hydroxyl functionalities of PSA, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was first grafted onto a PSA backbone. Then the cross-linking of PSA or PSA-g-mPEG12 was carried out with disuccinyl PEG of different molar masses (Suc-PEGn-Suc). Polymers were characterized through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The degree of swelling of networks was investigated through water (D2O) uptake studies, while for detailed examination of their structural dynamics, networks were studied using 13C magic angle spinning NMR (13C MAS NMR) spectroscopy, 1H double quantum NMR (1H DQ NMR) spectroscopy, and 1H pulsed field gradient NMR (1H PFG NMR) spectroscopy. These solid state NMR results revealed that the networks were composed of a two component structure, having different dipolar coupling constants. The diffusion of solvent molecules depended on the degree of swelling that was imparted to the network by the varying chain length of the PEG based cross-linking agent.
