Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Broadband Electric Spectroscopy (BES) is a technique that shows promise in studying the interactions of dense or supercritical gases with polymers, particularly with respect to chain mobility. Polymers that are treated with dense gases show a reduction in the viscosity, glass transition and melting temperature. A high pressure cell for BES has been constructed that can be used from ambient temperature and pressure to 353 K and 15 MPa and over a frequency range from 20 Hz to 1 MHz. In the past, the dielectric constant of CO2 was determined by measurements at only one or two frequency values. New instrumentation and technology allow this experiment to be expanded to cover a wider frequency range. BES measurements of CO2 show no relaxation peaks in the permittivity from 20 Hz to 1 MHz and 1 to 6 MPa. By these measurements, the CO2 dielectric constant was evaluated between 0.1 and 6MPa. Cell testing with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) at 323 K and CO2 pressures from 0.1 to 13 MPa indicate an increase in the chain segmental motion at high pressures resulting from a reduction in the glass transition temperature of the PVC-CO2 system due to plasticization by CO2.
