Monohydric alcohol transport in a rubbery poly(urethan)

Steady-state permeation rates and equilibrium sorption measurements were made as a function of temperature for a series of alcohols in a polybutylene adipate polyurethan. The alcohol series included methanol; ethanol; n-propanol; n-, iso-, sec-, and t-butanol; n-pentanol, n-hexanol, and n-heptanol (all at unit activity). Calculated integral diffusivities of the various penetrants correlated well with effective penetrant size. The solubility coefficients for the various alcohols increased as the difference between the solubility parameters of the polymer and penetrant decreased for the normal alcohol series. The solubility coefficients for the branched alcohol isomers were characterized by values lower than those predicted by the correlation for the normal alcohols; possibly steric hindrance limits sorption on specific polymer sites. A detailed analysis of the system ethanol/poly(butylene adipate-polyurethan) revealed a sigmoidal increase of the diffusion coefficient with increasing penetrant concentration, suggesting a competition between penetrant clustering and polymer plasticization. The diffusion process appears to be time dependent as well as concentration dependent. Anomalies in the diffusion behavior that can reasonably be related to polymer segmental relaxation are present to a much larger degree as temperature is increased. Ethanol sorption was further complicated by positive deviation from Henry's law at activities in excess of 0.2.     

Optimization of some instrumental factors in diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy

The effects of some instrumental factors on infrared spectroscopy analysis were investigated in the case of diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) mode. It is usually said that quantitative analysis is possible only if both particle size distribution and sample density are perfectly controlled. However, even if these conditions are checked, instrumental factors are of great interest for the goodness of a curve fitting procedure, which is often necessary in solid sample studies. A factorial design achieved on anthron made it possible to obtain major trends concerning the required values for one instrumental parameter (resolution) and two mathematical treatments (zero filling and Savitsky-Golay (S-G) smoothing). Resolution was found to have the greatest effect on measured responses. A value of 2 cm(-1) according to the corresponding aperture is sufficient to approach the real width of bands for powdered samples. The use of a zero filling factor (ZFF) improves the apparent resolution by data interpolation. The best values found for instrumental parameters were applied to an anthron-anthracen mixture. The optimization of spectral features made it possible to obtain semi-quantitative results quite easily, in good agreement with the data corresponding to each pure compound.
