Abstract Polystyrene (PS) based composites respectively with cenosphere (CS) and calcium aluminosilicate (CAS) as fillers were studied using the positron lifetime technique to reveal the correlation between free volume, a microstructural property, and mechanical properties of the composites (tensile strength and tensile modulus). The thermal stability of the composites was determined using differential scanning calorimetry. The results showed that addition of CAS filler lead to a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of the composite, whereas addition of CS resulted in improvement in tensile modulus only. Both PS/CAS and PS/CS composites showed enhancement in thermal stability compared with that of the pure PS matrix. The positron results showed that the average free volume size for the PS/CAS composite (at 40 phr CAS) was reduced significantly compared with that of the pure PS. These results are understood in terms of the influence of silica content, filler-matrix interaction, and particle size.

Long Lifetime

Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy was used to study the free-volume parameters in various pure -, - and -cyclodextrins samples and, in the case of β-cyclodextrin, with inclusion of S-carvone and thymoquinone. The results clearly indicate the presence of long lifetime components related to Ps-formation. The data show that the addition of S-carvone to β-cyclodextrin results in a decrease of o-Ps lifetime that we ascribe to a reduction of free volume holes from 81.8 to 63.7 Å3. The long lifetime component disappears when thymoquinone is added to -cyclodextrin, indicating this substance acts as an o-Ps quencher. For all samples studied, a decrease in the long lifetime component values was observed with increasing source in situ time, a result that might be attributed to the irradiation of the sample by the 22Na positron source.
