A Nuclear-Magnetic-Resonance Study of Dynamics in Toluene-Polyisobutylene Solutions .1. Penetrant Diffusion and Fujita Theory
The self-diffusion coefficients of toluene in polyisobutylene (PIB) solutions were determined using the pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance technique. The volume fraction of toluene in the polymer was varied from 0.045 up to 0.712 and the temperature was varied from 225 K up to 368 K. The concentration dependence of the data was interpreted using the Fujita free volume theory and the temperature dependence was interpreted with the WLF equation. These models describe separately the concentration and temperature dependencies of the toluene self-diffusion coefficients very well and the resulting free volume parameters are in good agreement with the ones extracted from the analysis of viscosity data on the same system.
