The interaction of water

“…A similar conclusion has been obtained in a previous FT-IR study on the moisture sorption isotherm of nylon 6 film.14) The fact that the excess energy of (TdSL) and, consequently, the entropy loss of dSL remain at finite values even at the saturation regain, is also significant to assure the sorbed water near saturation to be still in a little more ordered state than in the liquid state.
