Popis: | Diffusion of pentane, cyclohexane, and toluene in nanocomposite films of fumed silica and poly(2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-difluoro-1,3-dioxole-co-tetrafluoroethylene) is observed by pulse field gradient NMR. The apparent diffusion constant determined in this experiment depends on the time over which the diffusion measurement is made. The pure copolymer and the nanocomposites based on it are inhomogeneous materials phenomenologically similar to a porous system with the fast diffusion domains having an apparent pore size in the micron size range. In this regard the diffusion can be considered to be anomalous with slopes as low as 0.6 in plots of the logarithm of mean-square displacement vs the logarithm of time at short observation times and at lower silica content. The slower diffusing toluene and cyclohexane are influenced to a greater extent by the inhomogeneous structure when motion is considered over the same time. The addition of nanoparticles increases the diffusion constants of the penetrants subs... |
