Glass Transition of Molecules Sorbed in Zeolites — Özlen F.

Proton MAS NMR, nuclear spin relaxation, and deuteron NMR spectroscopy are combined to study the mobility of ethylene glycol molecules sorbed in various zeolites over a wide temperature range. The results obtained will be also compared with broad-band dielectric measurements and with previous extensive dielectric studies by Kremer et al. [1]. The main question is whether the adsorbed species show a so called single-molecule behavior characterized by an Arrhenius type temperature dependence of the correlation times or the respective dielectric relaxation times. In contrast, a Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) type temperature dependence of the dielectric relaxation rate would point out collective motions and is typical for the appearance of a glass-transition. An important question is the competition between molecule-to-molecule and molecule-to-surface interactions.
