Abstracts
Positron lifetime and pressure-volume-temperature experiments were performed as function of T (100-485 K) and P (10^{-5} Pa-500 MPa) on a fluoroelastomer. From positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, analyzed with LT9.0 assuming a dispersion in the e^+ (τ_2) and o-Ps (τ_3) lifetime, the mean, 〈v_h〉, and the width (standard deviation), σ_h, of the hole size distribution were calculated. The pressure-volume-temperature data were analyzed using the Simha-Somcynsky hole-lattice theory to estimate the specific hole free volume V_f. From a comparison of V_f with 〈v_h〉 the specific hole number, N'_h, is estimated. The data from thermal expansion and pressure experiments show complete agreement when taking into account the compressibility of the occupied volume.
