abstract = {Quasielastic neutron scattering by employing a combination
of time-of-flight and backscattering techniques is carried
out to explore the molecular mobility of a polymer of
intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) on microscopic timescales in
comparison with a high-performance polyimide. Molecular
fluctuations can change the structure of the temporary
network of micropores and open or close pathways for gas
molecules. Therefore, the investigation might help to
understand the selectivity of PIMs in gas separation
processes. The performed neutron scattering experiments
provide evidence for a low-temperature relaxation process,
which was assigned to methyl group rotation. This methyl
group rotation was analyzed in terms of jump diffusion in a
threefold potential. The analysis results in a fraction of
methyl groups, which are immobilized. For PIM-1, it was
found that the fraction of immobilized methyl groups
decreases with increasing temperature up to 350 K. At higher
temperatures, the number of immobilized methyl group
increases gain due to an underlying relaxation process. This
motional process on a somewhat larger length scale might
lead to a reversible structural rearrangement, which
partially hinders the strongly localized methyl group
rotation. In addition, it was found that the activation
energies for the methyl group rotation for PIM-1 and the
polyimide are significantly higher than that for
conventional polymers.},
