The aim of this work is the design of an apparatus which allows to measure the in plane stress that arises in polymer coating of commercial polystyrene (N2380) below the glass transition temperature (Tg) as result of vapor sorption/desorption processes and its evolution in time. The in plane stress is measured using bending beam cantilever technique. The experiments were performed at different temperatures, using different fugacity of n-pentane inside the system. From the stress state, knowing the material proprieties, the change in the volume recorded during the sorption/desorption process was derived. Through the use ofthe non-equilibrium lattice fluid model (NELF) it is then possible to estimate vapor mass uptake/release in the coating.

Abstract
The aim of this work is the design of an apparatus which allows to measure the in plane stress that arises in polymer coating of commercial polystyrene (N2380) below the glass transition temperature (Tg) as result of vapor sorption/desorption processes and its evolution in time. The in plane stress is measured using bending beam cantilever technique. The experiments were performed at different temperatures, using different fugacity of n-pentane inside the system. From the stress state, knowing the material proprieties, the change in the volume recorded during the sorption/desorption process was derived. Through the use ofthe non-equilibrium lattice fluid model (NELF) it is then possible to estimate vapor mass uptake/release in the coating.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
