Free-volume parameters in polyurethane/urea membranes have been studied by positron annihilation lifetime and Doppler broadening measurements. The bi-soft segment membranes were obtained by varying the ratio of the structural constituents, polypropylene oxide and polydimethylsiloxane (PU/PDMS), with PDMS content from 25 to 75 wt%. The free-volume holes determined by PALS are correlated with gas permeation featu...
The free-volume parameters in various urethane/urea membranes obtained by varying the ratio of the structural constituents, polypropylene oxide and polybutadiene, were studied by positron lifetime and Doppler broadening measurements. On bi-soft segment membranes, a correlation was found between the composition of membranes, the normalized free volume, the radii of the holes and gas permeability. However, the co...
