Desorption Kinetics of Water from Poly (methyl methacrylate) Films and other Polymer Films

ORAL

Abstract

We present herein the water desorption from the dipole oriented poly (methyl methacrylate) PMMA. Water desorption from PMMA presents the ``ice species'' at 150 K and a bulk peak at about 280 K. We note that the desorption peak temperature does not vary greatly with increasing coverage. The energy of desorption is obtained by employing the Arrhenius and Polany-Wigner equations. The comparison with previous thermal desorption spectra of water from two ferroelectric polymers is also discussed.
