Summary

A technique permitting to record structure transformations in a polymer film by X-ray analysis directly in the process of low molecular weight solvent vapor sorption is developed. Applying it to cellulose nitrate (CN) — ethyl acetate (EA) system evidences the formation of a set of crystalline reflections in the initially amorphous film at a definite EA vapor activity (p/ps≈ 0.6), the reflections disappearing after the removal of EA. The ordering of structure is associated with molecular complexes (MC) formation, MC being thermodynamically stable within a certain p/ps range. It proves the validity of a qualitative phase diagram offered for CN — EA system (6). The peculiarities of MC formation and destruction are bound to assist in interpretation of sorption and diffusion properties of the system in question.
