Mass-variation measurements were carried out on carbon black (CB)-poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) composite film with 40% by weight of di(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DOP), cast on resonant piezo-layer (RPL) elements of lead zirconat titanate (PZT). Even if anomalous diffusion is predicted by fitting the data with Mt/M∞=ktα, the fractional uptake Mt/M∞ is linear with the square root of the time up to Mt/M∞=0.6, suggesting Fickian behavour.

Abstract

Mass-variation measurements were carried out on carbon black (CB)-poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) composite film with 40% by weight of di(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DOP), cast on resonant piezo-layer (RPL) elements of lead zirconat titanate (PZT). Even if anomalous diffusion is predicted by fitting the data with Mt/M∞=ktα, the fractional uptake Mt/M∞ is linear with the square root of the time up to Mt/M∞=0.6, suggesting Fickian behavour. The anomalous values of α are probably due to experimental time lag. A dependence of the diffusion on the morphology of the material and the penetrant shape and flexibility has been found.
