Abstract

Polymers form a vast class of materials, much too diverse for catergorization under a single rule, especially regarding their interactions with fluids. Nevertheless, recently developed devices and probing techniques provide illuminating insights in several specific circumstances. In several cases, these methods enabled the judicious distinction between the portions of liquid water and water molecules that were attached by one or more hydrogen bonds to the polymeric chains (Sammon et al. 1998; Marechal and Chamel 1996; Cutugno et al. 2001; Kusanagi and Yukawa 1994).

Notes

  1. 1.

    See listing in Table 4.1.

  2. 2.

    Note that the relationship employed therein is \( D = (1/6){a^2}\omega \) instead of \( (1/2){a^2}\omega \) for the one-dimension scheme presented in Sect. 3.2.

  3. 3.

    The general solution was expressed by Gurtin and Yatomi (1979). An illuminating discussion on the subject is given in a review article by Bond and Smith (2006).
