Abstract
We have investigated water desorption from the polymer poly(methylvinylidene cyanide). The angle resolved thermal desorption spectra show large deviations from the cosn θ distribution for water desorption from poly-(methylvinylidene cyanide) indicative of an activated desorption process. The Arrhenius plots obtained from Polanyi-Wigner analysis of the thermal desorption data suggest that a two-state model of desorption applies, while theory suggests that lattice strain in the polymer plays a key role in the thermal desorption of water.
