THERMODYNAMICS OF WATER SORPTION IN HIGH PERFORMANCE GLASSY THERMOPLASTIC POLYMERS

THERMODYNAMICS OF WATER SORPTION IN HIGH PERFORMANCE GLASSY THERMOPLASTIC POLYMERS

Sorption thermodynamics of water in two glassy polymers, polyetherimide (PEI) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK), is investigated by coupling gravimetry and on line FTIR spectroscopy in order to gather information on the total amount of sorbed water as well as on the different species of water molecule...
