1 , meaning

According to the existing theory, the microscopic process of gas permeation in thin film materials is characterized by dissolved adsorption-diffusion-dissolution desorption. The diffusion of gas in the material is an important parameter to determine its permeation behavior. The diffusion coefficient is usually used to characterize the diffusion ability of the material. . Factors affecting the diffusion coefficient include temperature, gas molecular diameter and its interaction with thin film molecules, internal structure of thin film materials, etc. By studying and testing the diffusion coefficient of gas in the film, it is beneficial to analyze the gas permeation behavior in the film. And the influencing factors provide theoretical basis and data support for improving the barrier properties of materials and improving the separation ability of different gases.

In this paper, oxygen is used as the test gas, PET film is used as the test sample, and the diffusion coefficient of oxygen in the PET film is tested.

3 , test methods

The diffusion coefficient test method of gas in the film material includes a half-time method, a prediction method, and a time lag method. The half-time method needs to remove the test gas in the film material by vacuuming or other methods, and then adjust the gas on both sides of the film to The isobaric test gas and the carrier gas are calculated. After the osmotic equilibrium is reached, the diffusion coefficient of the test gas is calculated. Currently, this method can only test the diffusion coefficient of oxygen, and is usually tested by an equal pressure oxygen transmission amount detecting device; The complex calculation predicts the diffusion coefficient of the gas; the time lag method is to make the lag time of the test gas reach the osmotic balance on both sides of the film under the condition that the one side of the film is in a high vacuum and the other side is a certain pressure test gas, and the gas diffusion is calculated. coefficient. In order to ensure the test accuracy and improve the contrast of different gas diffusion coefficients, this paper uses the time lag method to conduct research and test. The operation process is based on GB/T 1038-2000 "Phase Difference Method for Plastic Film and Sheet Gas Permeability Test Method".

4.1 Principle of the test

The sample clamped in the test chamber divides the test chamber into upper and lower chambers, and the lower chamber is evacuated to form a high vacuum environment, and the upper chamber is filled with a test gas of a certain pressure. The test gas will permeate from the upper chamber through the sample into the lower chamber, and the pressure change in the lower chamber can be monitored in real time by the pressure sensor, and the relationship between the pressure in the lower chamber and the time is plotted. When the osmotic balance is reached, the system will automatically extend the reverse phase. The lower chamber pressure-time curve intersects with the time axis at time point t 0 , which is the lag time. The diffusion coefficient D of the test gas is the ratio of the square of the film sample thickness d to 6 times the lag time.

D = d 2 /6 t 0

Yellow Waxy Corn Cut

Colored sticky corn is generally white, yellow, red, purple and black, among which white, yellow and purple corn are the basic colors. If the purple gene of the purple-white hybrid "beats" the white gene, it will naturally become purple, and vice versa, so if the two are tied, we will see white and purple corn. Purple can become red and black corn, or as we often say, "red is purple and black is purple".

Among these colorful corn, the most common Yellow Waxy Corn is the most nutritious because it is rich in carotene.
