Abstract

Positron annihilation lifetime and Doppler broadening spectroscopies were used to study the free volume parameters in polypropylene oxide/polybutadiene bi-soft segment urea/urethane membranes (PU/PBDO), with PBDO content varying from 0 up to 75 wt % in the temperature range 298-324 K. The gas permeation features appear to be correlated with the free volume sizes determined by the lifetime measurements whereas phase separation of the various soft and hard segments in the membranes is mirrored by both the lifetime and Doppler results.
