Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Solvent Sorption in a Polymer-Solvent System - Importance of Swelling and Heat Effects(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Ramesh, Narayan; Duda, John LarrySorption experiments are often conducted in gravimetric sorption columns where several deviations from ideal conditions could potentially occur. For example, heat effects due to solvent sorption, errors introduced due to concentration dependent diffusion coefficients and swelling are unavoidable. In this study, we develop a model to study the importance of the combination of these effects in obtaining diffusion coefficients from sorption experiments. The model is used to explore a wide range of operating conditions and physical parameters.Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 28Influence of Swelling and Diffusion-Induced Convection on Polymer Sorption Processes(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2002) Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Duda, John LarryUnsteady-state sorption of a vapor or liquid by a polymer is modeled to include the influence of the moving phase boundary associated with the polymer swelling and diffusion-induced convection. A formulation presented clearly elucidates the influence of these two effects on the overall sorption process. Numerical solutions of the model equations indicate the errors that can be induced when swelling or convection are neglected. For most polymer-solvent systems, the influence of the diffusion-induced convection associated with volume changes in mixing can be neglected in the analysis of sorption processes. In contrast, the correction for the moving boundary or swelling of the polymer phase can be quite significant, particularly when a large step change in solvent concentration is considered.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 25Processing of Polymers With Supercritical Fluids(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 1999) Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Duda, John LarryThe removal of impurities, such as residual solvents, unreacted monomers, catalysts, and side-reaction products from polymers represents an important step in polymer processing. Conventional devolatilization techniques for the purification of polymers have limited effectiveness. Devolatilization with supercritical fluids, however, can enhance impurity removal by increasing the thermodynamic driving force and molecular diffusivity.
