✦ Synopsis
It haa been found that sudden changes in atmospheric vapor pressure of swelling agents result in a transient increase in mechanical damping in polymers. The effect was observed on both raising and lowering the vapor pressure. The system invegtigated were: cellulose (paper )-water; celiulose (paper )-ammonia; gelatin-water; nylon 66-water; cellulose acetate-acetone; poly(viny1 acetate)-acetone; rubber hydrochloride-chloroform; and polystyrenebenzene. The damping waa measured with a low-frequency torsional pendulum. The results suggest that the transient damping effect is associated with diffusion processes taking place in the sample during attainment of equilibrium.
