Kinetics of water vapor adsorption by ion exchange polyacrylonitrile fibres

Kinetics of water vapor adsorption by ion exchange PAN fibres has been studied. Adsorption can be described by an exponential kinetic equation. Experimental results permit the assumption that the surface of the materials studied behaves as uniformly nonhomogeneous with more strongly expressed entropy nonhomogeneity, connected with cross-linking of the modified fibres. The dependence between the kinetic characteristics and the solubility of the materials in DMF shows that the main factor affecting unfavorably the adsorption kinetics is cross-linking. Increase of N-containing anion exchange groups reduces the effect of adsorption delay due to cross-linking.
