The enzyme 20-β-Hydroxy-steroid-dehydrogenase obtained from the culture of Streptomyces hydrogenans and dissolved in 0.05 M Tris puffer, pH 7.3, has been investigated by means of a ultracentrifuge at 20 °C. The sedimentation- as well as the diffusion-coefficients obtained from various solutions at different concentrations were extrapolated to the concentration c = 0. The resulting zero-value for the sedimentation coefficient is s0 = 6.64 s and for the diffusion coefficient is D0 = 5.51 × 10-7 cm2/sec. Supposing the partial specific volume of the enzyme under consideration analogously to other similar proteins is V+=0.749 ml/g, the molecular weight has been estimated as M = 118 400.

The temperature dependence of the tracer diffusion coefficient D* of long deuterated polystyrene (d-PS) chains of molecular weight M>Mc, where Mc is the critical molecular weight for entanglement, diffusing into highly entangled PS matrices, each of molecular weight P = 2×107, is studied using forward recoil spectrometry. It is found that the temperature dependence of D*/T, reflected primarily in the monomeric friction coefficient, is accurately described by a Vogel equation. The constants that are used to fit these results are independent of M and are the same as those used to fit the temperature dependence of the zero shear rate viscosity of polystyrene.

The diffusion coefficient of SO2 and acetonitrile in Nafion perfluorinated ion exchange membranes have been determined from chromatographic measurements of SO2 concentration and the isotopic ratios in acetonitrile solutions. The diffusion coefficients vary with residual water content and attain values about one fifth those reported for water-saturated membranes falling in the range 1–2 × 10−7 cm2 s−1. Values obtained for Teflon reinforced material indicates diffusion takes place over an effective surface more than twice the optically open area.

Abstract Curatives will readily migrate across a rubber-to-rubber interface following the classical laws of diffusion. The rate of diffusion increases with increasing temperature. The absolute change in curative concentration diminishes with increasing distance from the interface and increases with time. A test procedure using conventional analytical methods can be used to accurately determine the diffusion coefficients of curatives at various storage temperatures in standard rubber formulations. Diffusion profiles and coefficients are dependent on the curative type. There appears to be a general correlation with molecular weight, with the rate of diffusion decreasing with increasing molecular weight. There is a small, rationalizable effect of concentration on the diffusion coefficient. The diffusion of curatives can cause a significant change in the cure system at or near the interface of a plied rubber article. Diffusion profiles for a particular rubber formulation can be predicted from experimental data using relatively simple analytical and mathematical techniques.

Diffusion coefficients in air at 298.2 °K and 1 atm pressure are reported for ethane, ethene, ethyne, cyclopropane, propene, propadiene, propyne, butane, 1-butene, 2-methylpropene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, 1,3-butadiene, 1-butyne, 2-methylbutane, 2,2-dimethylpropane, cyclopentane, and 1-pentene.A linear relationship, valid for alkanes and alkenes, has been found between the diffusion coefficient and the reduced molecular weight of the members of a homologous series and air.Diffusion coefficients calculated by ten prediction equations were generally lower than those observed.

The simple equation derived previously for calculating the diffusion coefficient and the zero-time correction from the data of the polarization interferometer is shown to be valid not only in the case of binary systems but also for the diffusion of polymer solutes with moderately broad molecular weight distribution and results in a diffusion coefficient, which is an average value of a well-defined type. In addition, it is shown experimentally that the equation is applicable with sufficient accuracy also to the evaluation of diffusion coefficients of polymers having a polydispersity index as high as Mw/Mn = 2.
