Sorption Isotherm, Glass Transition, and Diffusion Coefficient of Polyacrylamide/Water Solutions
The sorption isotherm, the glass transition, and the mutual diffusion coefficient of polyacrylamide/water solutions are obtained experimentally. All of these parameters are measured in the concentrated regime by gravimetric experiments. The mutual diffusion coefficient is also measured at high solvent concentrations by the sliding symmetric tubes technique. Three different polyacrylamide batches differing in their molar mass have been characterized. The results are expressed in terms of simple empirical correlations, suitable for use in process modelization or numerical simulations.
