ABSTRACTPositron-annihilation-lifetime (PAL) spectroscopy has been utilized to investigate the free-volume properties of two types of polymer blends, a miscible blend of bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC) and tetramethyl bisphenol-A polycarbonate (TMPC), and an immiscible blend of PC and polystyrene (PS). In the miscible blend, the free-volume hole size and its fraction follow a linear relationship with respect to the weight fraction while in the immiscible blend, the relationship is not linearly additive. The free-volume hole distributions in the immiscible blend are found to be significantly broader than those in the pure polymers. The difference is thought to be a result of the free volume formed and associated with the conformation and interchain packing between the dissimilar chains in incompatible polymers.

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.
