Abstract: | The effect of a penetrant-induced isothermal glass transition on sorption, dilation, and diffusion behavior was studied in a single experimental run for CO2 in cast polybenzylmethacrylate films. The dual-mode type sorption isotherms below the glass transition temperature of the polymer changed to linear ones above a certain concentration. Meanwhile, partial molar volume of CO2 determined from the dilation of the films above the concentration gave a value very close to the one reported for rubbery polymers, and diffusion coefficients became less concentration-dependent. The results were conformable to the concept of unrelaxed volume in glassy polymers. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
