Abstract: The bromination of poly-1-trimethylsilylpropyne (PTMSP) membrane with N-bromosuc-cinimide in acetone and nitrogen diluted bromine vapor(Br2/N2 volume ratio:0.20~1.00) have been investigated. The machanism of the bromination and the relationship between gas permeation and microstructure of the brominated PTMSP membranes are discussed. A significant breakdown of siliconcarbon bond, which was found in the fluorination of PTMSP, does not take place during bromination.Bromination increased the separation factor of membrane (ao2N2) from 1.54 to 3.48,but only slightly improved its stability as gas permeation membrane. It is however with a marked decrease of the permeability coefficient of oxygene Po2.

Key words: polytrimethylsilylpropyne, bromination, membrane, gas permeation
