Polymer-polymer mutual diffusion using transmission FTIR spectroscopy

Abstract: A unique method has been developed to experimentally observe mutual diffusion of poly-(ethyleneco-methacrylic acid) (EMAA) and poly(viny1 methyl ether) (PVME) using conventional transmission FTIR spectroscopy. Using closed boundary conditions and assuming a composition-independent diffusion coefficient, a value of D = 6.5 X 1W6 cm2/s was determined at 110 "C.

“…PAAm and PAAc are known to form complexes which dissociate at 25 mixtures.14 '16-19 By contrast, complexes obtained by mixing PDMAAm and PAAc aqueous solutions were observed in water at 70 °C. This reflects the enhanced stability of intermolecular complexes formed by PDMAAm and PAAc in aqueous solution.…”

“…Therefore, characterization of the interphase constructed by macromolecular diffusion in immiscible polymer blends is meaningful for polymer engineering and science, including adhesion, phase separation through spinodal decomposition and polymer blend interface modification. 14,15 So far, several methods have been developed to quantify the diffusion behavior in polymer blends, including secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), 16 forward recoil spectrometry (FRS), 17 neutron reflectometry (NR), 18 positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS), 19 fluorescence electron spectroscopy (FES), 20 X-ray microanalysis in scanning electron microscopy, 21 transmission FTIR spectroscopy, 22 dynamic light scattering (DLS), 4 etc. It is worth noting, however, that these are best suited for nanoscale film analysis, and often require labeling with exogenous markers (e.g.…”

“…Many techniques have been developed to measure the diffusion coefficients of small or large molecules in polymer melts or solutions. For example, pulsed field gradient‐nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG‐NMR) spectroscopy,22 X‐ray microanalysis in scanning electron microscopy,23 neutron scattering,24, 25 neutron reflection,26 neutron spin echo,27 forward recoil spectrometry,28 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,29 and transmission electron microscopy30 have been used. All these techniques require the samples to be either chemically labeled or spectroscopically differentiated.…”
