Abstract
|
The temperature dependence of the specific volume, <i>V</i>, and of the mean size of local free volumes (holes), <i>v</i><sub>h</sub>, of poly(vinyl chloride) containing 10 wt% (PVC-h) and 30 wt% (PVC-s) of the plasticizer di-<i>n</i>-butyl phthalate (DBP) were studied by pressure–volume–temperature (PVT) and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) experiments. Using the Simha–Somcynsky equation-of-state, the hole fraction <i>h</i> was calculated from the PVT data. It was found that the thermal expansivity of the specific volume <i>V</i>, the specific free volume <i>V</i><sub>f</sub>=<i>hV</i>, and <i>v</i><br /><sub>h</sub> increase with the content of plasticizer. From the comparison of <i>V</i> and <i>V</i><sub>f</sub> with <i>v</i><sub>h</sub> the hole number per gram <i>N</i>′<sub>h</sub> is estimated. Other than <i>v</i><sub>h</sub>, <i>N</i>′<sub>h</sub> does not depend on the temperature nor on the content of plasticizer.
