Popis: The absorption characteristics of cellulose acetate (CA398) and cellulose triacetate membranes for ethanol vapor were determined by integrated optical techniques. Changes in the refractive index and film thicknesses are used to calculate the ethanol concentration within the membrane, to calculate the partial molar volume of sorbed ethanol as a function of ethanol concentration, and to estimate the average void volume of the dry film. The refractive index is shown to be very sensitive to the available void space within the membrane. The average total void space for the films considered here was less than 1% of the dry polymer volume. 22 references, 6 figures, 1 table.
