Tóm tắt

ABSTRACTAccording to basic phenomenological models describing the solution‐diffusion based mechanism of penetrant diffusion in dense polymers, a connection between the diffusive transport of gas molecules in a polymeric matrix and the molecular mobility of that matrix on a certain length scale is, in principle, established for a long time. However, experimental data directly showing this correlation are rare. The investigation of a series of nanocomposites based on a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and a polycarbonate matrix allows a systematic change of the molecular mobility on a local length scale (β‐relaxation) and of the corresponding activation energy EA, both determined by broadband dielectric spectroscopy. Independently, activation energies of penetrant diffusion (ED) of these nanocomposites were determined for N2, O2, CO2, and CH4 and a clear linear correlation between the two activation energies was established for the first time. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
