Abstract: | The features of the postexposure relaxation of holographic gratings recorded in inhomogeneous polyvinyl acetate latex films
with photosensitive agents (photochromic molecules of fulgide dyes and phenanthrenequinone) have been considered. The diffusion
coefficients and rms displacements of izomerized probe in polymer latex particles and aqueous environment are determined within
the model of two diffusion states. The effective diffusion coefficient of the molecular probe, which is responsible for the
relaxation of gratings, increases with an increase in their period in wet films, whereas in dry films, this parameter is independent
of the grating period. In the films subjected to high-temperature treatment the effective diffusion coefficient decreases
with an increase in the grating period. The successive stages of grating relaxation in latex films with phenanthrenequinone
are related to the diffusion of free molecules, radicals, and polymer chains, as well as to the local displacement of macromolecular
segments at distances of 5–25 nm. |
