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.

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.

Transport of solutes through diffusion is an important metabolic mechanism for the avascular cartilage tissue. Three types of interconnected physical phenomena, namely mechanical, electrical, and chemical, are all involved in the physics of transport in cartilage. In this study, we use a carefully designed experimental-computational setup to separate the effects of mechanical and chemical factors from those of electrical charges. Axial diffusion of a neutral solute (Iodixanol) into cartilage was monitored using calibrated microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) images for up to 48 hr. A biphasic-solute computational model was fitted to the experimental data to determine the diffusion coefficients of cartilage. Cartilage was modeled either using one single diffusion coefficient (single-zone model) or using three diffusion coefficients corresponding to superficial, middle, and deep cartilage zones (multizone model). It was observed that the single-zone model cannot capture the entire concentration-time curve and under-predicts the near-equilibrium concentration values, whereas the multizone model could very well match the experimental data. The diffusion coefficient of the superficial zone was found to be at least one order of magnitude larger than that of the middle zone. Since neutral solutes were used, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content cannot be the primary reason behind such large differences between the diffusion coefficients of the different cartilage zones. It is therefore concluded that other features of the different cartilage zones such as water content and the organization (orientation) of collagen fibers may be enough to cause large differences in diffusion coefficients through the cartilage thickness.

The hydrocracking of a pentane-insoluble asphaltene over NiMo/γ-Al2O3 at 623 - 703 K was investigated. The second order kinetic equation fits experimental data of asphaltene conversion adequately, giving the apparent activation energy to be 144 kJ/mol over the temperature range. Average molecular weight of liquid product was reduced significantly with increasing temperature.

This work deals with the study of zinc self-diffusion in ZnO polycrystal of high density and of high purity. The diffusion experiments were performed using the 65Zn radioactive isotope as zinc tracer. A thin film of the tracer was deposited on the polished surface of the samples, and then the diffusion annealings were performed from 1006 to 1377oC, in oxygen atmosphere. After the diffusion treatment, the 65Zn diffusion profiles were established by means of the Residual Activity Method. From the zinc diffusion profiles were deduced the volume diffusion coefficient and the product dDgb for the grain-boundary diffusion, where d is the grain-boundary width and Dgb is the grain-boundary diffusion coefficient. The results obtained for the volume diffusion coefficient show good agreement with the most recent results obtained in ZnO single crystals using stable tracer and depth profiling by secondary ion mass spectrometry, while for the grain-boundary diffusion there is no data published by other authors for comparison with our results. The zinc grain-boundary diffusion coefficients are ca. 4 orders of magnitude greater than the volume diffusion coefficients, in the same experimental conditions, which means that grain-boundary is a fast path for zinc diffusion in polycrystalline ZnO.

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.


Mutual diffusion coefficients for liquid mixtures of ethanol and water have been measured over the entire range of composition and for temperatures from 25 to 65 °C at a pressure of 1 bar (10 5 Pa). At the lowest temperature, the results establish the validity of a new experimental method based upon Taylor’s analysis of solute dispersion in laminar flow. The method offers advantages of simplicity and speed over other techniques, and allows direct measurement of diffusion coefficients at well-defined mixture compositions. The experimental data have an estimated uncertainty of ±2.5% . The results have been utilized to evaluate friction coefficients arising in the statistical mechanical theory of transport in liquid mixtures.

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 evolution of the μNth value at different temperatures was achieved through the drift velocity of electron. The results were show when the temperature was increased, the number of the electrons will be decreased because using the momentum transfer cross section for CO2 molecules through collisions. The calculation of the diffusion coefficient was used to deduce the μNth values of CO2 electrons at temperature between 288 to 573 k by utilization numerically the Boltzmann equation solution. The results were appearing the agreement with the theoretical and experimental data. Keywords: Diffusion Coefficients, Boltzmann Equation, Swarms Parameters, Energy Distribution Function.
