During this study the formation and growth of silver chloride crystals in crazed porous polymeric matrixes of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polypropylene (PP) were under investigation. The rate of formation and dispersity and the way AgCl particles aggregate in porous polymers were shown to be dependent on the effective volume porosity, pore dimension, and physical state of the polymer. Methods of the determination of diffusion and distribution constants for low-molecular substances in porous polymers were suggested, and a mechanism of silver chloride crystallization in porous medium was proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
