Polymer and Dye Probe Diffusion in Poly(methyl methacrylate) below the Glass Transition Studied by Forced Rayleigh Scattering

Abstract: By dissolving tracer quantities of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (PQ) in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) it was possible to study by forced Rayleigh scattering (FRS) the tracer diffusion of the unbleached PQ as well as the photoproduct which is covalently bound to the PMMA molecules. The PMMA samples with molecular weights, M w, of 10 3 -10 5 were intermittently annealed at 80 °C for diffusion times of up to one year. From the results we conclude that polymer chain diffusion may be possible at temperatures more th… Show more

“…In 2005, Blaya et al [10], estimated D ~10 14 cm 2 /s. They and other authors noted that the matrix composition (PVA) [13,28,29] plays a very critical role in determining D. It is important to note that our PVA has a higher molecular weight than those reported by other authors; therefore, our D values may possibly be assumed to be a fast limit for acrylamide diffusion. However Blaya et …”

“…The monomer diffusion coefficients are expected to decrease with increasing matrix polymer chain length, but no further decrease is anticipated above a certain chain length. [33,34] In the case of poly(St), the value of T g becomes independent of molecular weight above approximately 10 5 g Á mol À1 . [35] The initiator concentration dependence of k p observed at 70 8C was significantly stronger than that observed here.…”

“…In 2005, Blaya et al [23] reviewed the previous literature and estimated D AA ∼ 10 −14 cm 2 =s. They also noted that the experimental temperature, relative to the material glass transition temperature [24][25][26], and the matrix composition (molecular weight distribution) [27][28][29] [30]. This model differs significantly from that of the NPDD model.…”
