Successive differential and integral sorptions of water vapor into the polyelectrolyte complex of poly (sty renesulfonic acid) / poly(4-vinyl-N-ethylpyridinum bromide) have been measured; films of stoichiometric (1/1 molar ratio) and nonstoichiometric (2/1 molar ratio) complex were employed in the experiments. Sorption isotherms have been also determined by using the values obtained from integral sorption experiments. The sorption data have suggested the following. (i) The rearrangement of polymer chains plays a relatively unimportant role in sorption of water. (ii) The relaxation motion of network chains is suppressed. (iii) The change of morphological structure caused by vapor sorption is obscure. (iv) The ionic character of the 1/1 complex is higher than that of 2/1 complex. (v) A small amount of water can be dispersed on specific polymer sites, but the sorption of a large amount of water is accompanied by an expansion of network structure. Points (i)-(v) have been consistently interpreted on the basis of the network structure and ionic character of this complex. |
