ESR Study on the Effect of Temperature on the Diffusion of Oxygen into PMMA and PVAc Polymers
نویسنده
چکیده
The free radicals produced by g irradiation in the polymer network are formed with ionizing radiation. The decay rates of radicals in the temperature range were used to estimate the diffusion coefficient of oxygen into polymeric spheres by an electron spin resonance (ESR) technique. The ESR results showed that the activation energy of the diffusion of oxygen into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) in the temperature range 10–40°C is 29.6 kJ/mol. There are two activation energies of the diffusion of oxygen into poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) in the temperature range 25–50°C. The activation energies below and above 35°C, which is the glass transition temperature of PVAc, were found to be 16.8 and 82.5 kJ/mol, respectively. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The problem treated here is to determinethe viscosity effect on stresses, temperature change and chemical potential in a circular plate. The mathematical formulation is applied to two theories of thermoelastic diffusion developed by Sherief et al. [27] with one relaxation time and Kumar and Kansal [9]with two relaxation times. Laplace and Hankel transform techniques are used to obtain the expre...

Direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry (DIP-MS) analyses of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) and binary PMMA/PVAc guests, coalesced from their inclusion compounds (ICs) formed with host g-cyclodextrin (g-CD) through removal of the g-CD host, have been performed. A slight increase in the thermal stabilities of the coalesced polymers were recorded both by T...
