Abstract

AbstractThe diffusion coefficients of monomers (vinyl acetate, styrene) within poly(vinyl acetate) films were measured by means of infrared attenuated total reflection spectroscopy and gravimetry. The diffusion coefficients obtained by the two methods are almost identical. This is interpreted as an indication that the molecular processes of diffusion of small molecules in bulk and in surface layer regions of the polymer take place in a similar manner.
