The modification of the extended Tao-Eldrup model accounting ortho-positronium quenching in air is presented. Taking into account quenching by oxygen molecules adsorbed on the surface of porous material gives reasonable agreement between results of the model and the experimental positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy data. Pore size distributions calculated using this model from the spectra for MCM 41 mesoporous sieve obtained in air, oxygen or vacuum are compared and discussed taking into account effect of ortho-positronium migration from small open pores to the larger ones. The rates of ortho-positronium quenching by air (47.2 µs-1 MPa 1), oxygen (220 µs-1 MPa-1) or nitrogen (1.7 µs-1 MPa-1) obtained from pressure dependences of the lifetimes observed in MCM 41 agree reasonably with the experimental results of other authors, if the correction for oxygen adsorbed on the surface is applied.

Membrane materials and polymer sorbents, polymers with highly developed free volume and specific surface, are of great technical importance. Positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) studies of these materials and some additional experiments give a chance to learn about the character of size distributions of elementary free volumes (EFV) of these materials. Particularly to answer the question whether the distributions of o-Ps lifetimes are of Gaussian type, as it is suggested in a number of publications, or they have some asymmetry or even some multi-component character, also to check some ideas on the ways of o-Ps trapping. In this aspect, large scale of o-Ps lifetimes (pore sizes) in these materials is very important, since enables comparison with the results of auxiliary techniques.

Porous properties have notable effect on separating effect of organic polymer-based monolithic column. Different applications of monolithic columns require tailored pore size distributions. On account of that, P(GMA-co-EGDMA) monolithic columns were prepared with novel ternary porogenic agents. Glass tubes was chosen as polymerization mold. Moreover, factors influencing the inner pore morphology, pore size and specific surface area were investigated systematically. The results showed that the increasing of the solubility of porogenic agents and the amount of crosslinker, the decreasing of the amount of porogenic agents and temperature rising all could give rise to the decreasing of pore size. Remarkably, the effect of initiator was studied for the first time. The results showed that amount of initiator had no remarkable influence on porous properties. By controlling effect factors, P(GMA-co-EGDMA) Monolithic Columns with pore size from dozens to thousands of nanometer, which can be applied in separation of molecules with different size.
