Abstract
The diffusion of dye-labeled linear polystyrenes within porous media composed of fumed silica particles has been studied by using forced-Rayleigh-scattering (FRS) spectroscopy. Significant differences have been observed between results obtained by using silica R972 (made by the Degussa Corp.), which is known to adsorb labeled polystyrene chains, and silica R972-M, in which the surface hydroxyl concentration has been reduced to minimize surface adsorption. In the porous medium R972-M, the FRS signal was «normal,» and the decay rate 1/τ was proportional to the square of the scattering wave vector, an observation indicating diffusion by Brownian motion
