Abstract
In this paper, we present the methodology and the results obtained by the gravimetric and the FTIR methods to study the sorption of amyl acetate in polypropylene packaging. The influence of the concentration of amyl acetate and the temperature of aging on the sorption is discussed. A non-Fickian model is used to determine the diffusion coefficient and the surface mass transfer coefficient and their evolution with the amyl acetate concentration and the temperature of aging. The effect of the diffusion of amyl acetate on the polypropylene is studied by means of thermal properties.
