Аннотация:Molecular theory of wetting was used to calculate the specifi c free surface energy of membranes based
on amorphous polymers of varied chemical structure from experimental wetting angles obtained for test fl uids.
A relationship was found between the dispersion component of the surface energy of a membrane, its gas permeability, and free volume of the polymer. This makes it possible to employ the wetting method to prognosticate
the transport properties of polymeric membranes. In wetting of membranes with aqueous solutions of alcohols,
the concentration of an alcohol corresponding to the onset of its sorption into the membrane was determined. The
correlation of the value obtained with the alcohol concentration that corresponds to the onset of sorption and is
determined independently by the gravimetric method enables use of wetting angles for optimizing the conditions
of experiments on nanofi ltration and pervaporation.
