Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Carbon dioxide with Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF2)

Components:
   (1) Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA); ; [9011-14-7]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Carbon dioxide; CO2; [124-38-9]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (3) Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF2); ; [24937-79-9]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail

Original Measurements:
   J.S. Chiou and D.R. Paul, J. Appl. Sci. 32, 2897 (1986).

Variables:
   Temperature = 308 K
   Pressure = 0-2.5 MPa (0-25 atm)
   Concentration = mass % PVF = 0-100

Prepared By:
   Yu. P. Yampol'skii

Experimental Remarks:

   The sorption isotherms for some blends (PVF2 content in the range 35-60 mass %) showed an unusual form and could not be described by dual mode sorption model. A modified DMS model was proposed where for the langmuir capacity parameter C'H from the DMS model an equation was suggested:
C'H0(Ts0-T),

where C'H0 is initial Langmuir capacity parameter prior to my reduction in Ts is the glass transition temperature in the presence of sorbed gas, and T is the temperature of measurement, i.e., 308 K.

Notes:
   *  Units: α, dimensionless; cm3(STP)/cm3 atm; C'H0, cm3(STP)/cm3 atm; b, atm-1.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   No details of the experimental procedure are given. Apparently, sorption is measured by pressure decay method.1
