The adsorption equilibrium of disperse dyes on cellulose triacetate was investigated in the vicinity of glass transition temperature,
Tg. Triacetate film was used throughout the experiment and was prepared in the same way as described in the first part of this work in which the kinetic behaviour of some disperse dyes in triacetate in the vicinity of
Tg was discussed.
The adsorption isotherms of five disperse dyes were determined at 80, ° 90, ° 100°, 110, ° 120° and 130°C. A constant partition coefficient was obtained in each case. Standard affinity, -
Δμ°, was calculated from the following formula;
where
V is effective volume for dye adsorption. Useing this equation many workers have usually used the values of the amount of dye on polymer, [D]
f, as mole per cc, which was obtained by converting the experimental value in mole per gram, with specific gravity of the polymer in dry state. In this report a more reasonable correction of
V is discussed. It is assumed that the adsorption of dye takes place only in amorphous region and on the “effective surface” of polymer molecule on the wall of free volume. Based on these assumptions the correction is done on crystallinity and volume expansion in water at various temperatures. In order to determine the crystallinity, X-ray diffraction method is used. The volume expansion coefficient is calculated from the linear expansion coefficient in water which was measured in the temperature range from 40° to 130°C, and the volume of triacetate during dyeing process was estimated.
Using these data, the corrected dye saturation value, standard affinity, heat of dyeing and entropy of dyeing are obtained. According to the results of Mears the heat of solution of gases (H
2, O
2 and N
2 etc.) into polyvinylacetate changed at
Tg. But results in this report shows that the heat of dyeing and entropy of dyeing does not change at that transition temperature by the above correction. It was assumed from these results that the mechanism of dyeing above and below
Tg do not change.
The effects of affinity in diffusion is discussed.
