| Título: | Quasielastic neutron scattering study of hydrogen motions in an aqueous poly(vinyl methyl ether) solution |
Autor: | Capponi, Sara; Arbe, Arantxa CSIC ORCID; Cerveny, Silvina CSIC ORCID ; Frick, Bernhard; Colmenero de León, Juan CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 2011 | Editor: | American Institute of Physics | Citación: | Journal of Chemical Physics 134(20): 204906 (2011) | Resumen: | We present a quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) investigation of the component dynamics in an aqueous Poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) solution (30% water content in weight). In the glassy state, an important shift in the Boson peak of PVME is found upon hydration. At higher temperatures, the diffusive-like motions of the components take place with very different characteristic times, revealing a strong dynamic asymmetry that increases with decreasing T. For both components, we observe stretching of the scattering functions with respect to those in the bulk and non-Gaussian behavior in the whole momentum transfer range investigated. To explain these observations we invoke a distribution of mobilities for both components, probably originated from structural heterogeneities. The diffusive-like motion of PVME in solution takes place faster and apparently in a more continuous way than in bulk. We find that the T-dependence of the characteristic relaxation time of water changes at T ≲ 225 K, near the temperature where a crossover from a low temperature Arrhenius to a high temperature cooperative behavior has been observed by broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) [S. Cerveny, J. Colmenero and A. Alegría, Macromolecules, 38, 7056 (2005)10.1021/ma050811t]. This observation might be a signature of the onset of confined dynamics of water due to the freezing of the PVME dynamics, that has been selectively followed by these QENS experiments. On the other hand, revisiting the BDS results on this system we could identify an additional “fast” process that can be attributed to water motions coupled with PVME local relaxations that could strongly affect the QENS results. Both kinds of interpretations, confinement effects due to the increasing dynamic asymmetry and influence of localized motions, could provide alternative scenarios to the invoked “strong-to-fragile” transition. | Descripción: | 14 páginas, 10 figuras.-- et al. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3592560 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/44041 | DOI: | 10.1063/1.3592560 | ISSN: | 0021-9606 | E-ISSN: | 1089-7690 |
