Absorption test was carried out in (Gas-Oil and Diesel-Fuel) at different immersion times as: Two Conditions were used to calculate the diffusion coefficient values. In the first Condition KL π 6, the diffusion coefficient values ranged from (.5 to.69) 4M cm /sec for immersed in Gas-Oil and it ranged from (.3 to.783) cm/sec for immersed in Diesel-Fuel. In the second Condition θ 4 π the diffusion 6 coefficient values ranged (.37 to.649) cm/sec for immersed in Gas-Oil and it ranged from (.56 to.635) cm /sec for immersed in Diesel-Fuel. It was found that the results obtained by the two equations were approximately the same. Indeed the blend (PP/PC) filled with (4 wt%) of carbon black has the lowest values of diffusion coefficient (calculated by the above two equations) in Gas-Oil and Diesel- Fuel which indicates this sample has better performance than other samples. The diffusion test also was carried out at different temperatures in order to show the effect of temperature on diffusion coefficient. It was found that the diffusion coefficient values increase with increasing temperature. All these samples are obeyed Fickian behavior and the activation energy (E) increases with increasing amounts of carbon black ( 7) wt%. دراسھ تاثیر زیت الغاز ووقود الدیزل على المخلوط البولیمري المكون من كاربونات المدعم بالكاربون الاسود بروبلین- بولي بولي الخلاصھ في ھذا البحث تم تحضیر مخالیط مختلفة من بولي- ب روبلین وب ولي كاربون ات الغی ر المدعم ة والمدعم ة بنس ب وزنی ھ مختلف ة م ن الك اربون الاس ود(الس خام) %( - 7) وعن د درج ات ح راره مختلفھ (4 5 و 55 ( م,حیث تم غمر النماذج في زیت الغاز ووقود الدیزل وملاحظھ امتصاصیھ 39

INTRODUCTION C omposites are formed when two or more materials are joined to give a combination of properties that cannot be attained in the original materials (,,3). Fick's first law is the fundamental law of diffusion whereas, Eq. the flux- direction (Fx) is proportional to concentration gradient (δc / δx). Fx = D ( C X )...() Flux is the amount of substance diffused across unit area, in unit time and D is the diffusion coefficient-fick's second law of diffusion describes the non steady- state. Diffusion is the process by which matter is transported from one part of the system to another as a result of random molecule. It can be described in terms of the random molecular motion (4). In general, diffusion behavior and transport in glassy polymers have been classified according to the relative rate of mobility of the penetrant and of polymer segments. Such classification produces the following three basic categories of behavior. (i) case I, or Fickian diffusion, in which, the rate of diffusion is much less than that of the polymer segment mobility. Sorption equilibrium is rapidly established, leading to time independent boundary conditions which exhibit no dependence or swelling kinetics. (ii) case II (or super case II), the other extreme in which diffusion and penetrant mobility are much greater compared with relaxation processes, sorption processes are strongly dependent on swelling kinetics. (iii) Non-Fickian, or anomalous diffusion which occurs when the penetrant mobility and polymer segment relaxation are comparable. Case I (Fickian) and case II can be viewed as two limiting types of transport processes with anomalous diffusion being between them. They can be distinguished by the shape of sorption, time and curve represented by: M M = t Kt n...( ) 4

Eng. &Tech. Journal, Vol.3, Part (A), No., 3 Studying the Effect of Both Gas Oil and Diesel t /.The Composites consist of one or more discontinuous phases embedded in a continuous phase.the Diffusion that the process dealing with matter is transported from one part of the system to another as a result of random molecular motion (6). In this field several investigators were carried out their work. Scott, worked with ebonite; a heavily cross linked natural rubber which is a glass at room temperature and it have been found many organic penetrates gave weight increase time curves, which were substantially linear (7). Alfrey and co-workers, identified the second limiting type of diffusion,by reporting linear kinetics in the polystyrene-acetone system and discussed possible stress effects took the very significant step of calling such behavior case II (8). Weitsman has undertaken an analysis of stress introduced into adhesive joints by water swelling caused by Fickian diffusion; but it seems unlikely, that they contribute significantly to long term weakening of joints (9). Brewis and Comyn and their group in Leicester, examined the liquid water uptake by series of peroxide adhesive based on (the diglycidle of bisphenol A) (DGEBA). Films were periodically removed for careful surface, drying and weighting; plots of mass uptake against t are initially linear and diffusion coefficient can be obtained from the slope (). Apicella has demonstrated Fickian uptake with an equilibrium plateau for water uptake by adhesive based on (DGEBA) and (TETA) at different temperatures (3, 45, and 75) o C. However, on changing the temperature of an equilibrated samples, the weight always increased and did not move necessarily towards the level of equilibrium uptake first associated with the new temperature (). AL-Abdly has studied the effect of various liquids on tubular shaped fiber reinforced composites, he was noted that at immersion epoxy and unsaturated polyester reinforced with (glass, carbon and Kevlar 49) fibers in NaOH have higher values than HCL.These polymeric materials obey Fickian diffusion (). Majeed examined the effect of different liquids (H O, HNO 3 and NaOH) on mechanical properties of epoxy resin (EP ) reinforced with (rock wool fiber and carbon black particles). He found that the diffusion process obeys the Fickian diffusion (3). Mahmood examined, the effect of various liquids such as (H SO 4, NaOH and Oil) on sample blend (PP/PC) unfilled and filled with carbon black ( wt%). He was found that the behavior of diffusion process obey to Fickian diffusion ( 4 ). In the present research the diffusion of prepared sample blends (PP/PC) unfilled-filled with different amounts of carbon black ( 7) wt% and at different temperatures (5 o C, 4 o C and 55 c C) were studied. Absorption test was carried out in (Gas-Oil and Diesel-Fuel) at different immersion times by using two equations were used to calculate the diffusion coefficient values. It was found that the results obtained by the two equations were approximately the same. The blend (PP/PC) filled with (4 wt%) of carbon black has the lowest values of diffusion coefficient (calculated by the above two equations) in Gas-Oil and Diesel-Fuel which indicates this sample has better performance than other samples. 4

It is clearly seen that the penetration for pure blend PP/PC is higher than the PP/PC filled with amounts of carbon black ( and 3) wt%; but the penetration for PP/PC filled with amounts of carbon black (4, 5, 6 and 7) wt% is lower than PP/PC unfilled- filled with amount of carbon black ( 3) wt%, whereas the PP/PC filled with carbon black (4 wt%) has lowest value of penetration than of all previous samples. It has been concluded from Figures (-3) that the behavior of diffusion process obeys the Fickian diffusion and this can be summarized by both sorption and description curve as function of (t) /. The plots show linear part in the initial stage and then both absorption curves are concave to the abscissa. It is clearly observed that the diffusion coefficient values increase with increasing the amount of carbon black ( 7) wt% due to the small particle size of carbon black, thus the surface area of particles is small consequently the particles agglomerate, then the distance between pore size will be small then the penetration of (Gas-Oil and Diesel-Fuel) decreases.these results are in good agreement with the results obtained by Alfrey (8) Brewis (), Apicella (), AL-Abdly (), Majeed (3) and Mahmood (4). The value of diffusion coefficient is calculated from the slope of plot weight gain percentage versus square-root of soaking time. The value of diffusion coefficient is increased with prolonged exposure to Gas- Oil at different temperatures. This is due to the fact that the absorbed liquid acts as 45

Eng. &Tech. Journal, Vol.3, Part (A), No., 3 Studying the Effect of Both Gas Oil and Diesel plasticizer and crazing agent, consequently deteriorates the mechanical integrity of the resin matrix. This deterioration or degradation of composite materials under the influence of an aggressive solvent and temperature can result in the loss of strength of reinforcing additive by stress corrosion and loss bond strength through degradation of the interfacial carbon black/matrix bond, whereas the de-bonding process starts immediately upon exposing the composite to various of liquids and temperatures. These results are similar to the results obtained by Alfrey (8), Brewis () and Mahmood (4) Figures (4-6) show the relation between the percent of weight and square-root of soaking time for PP/PC unfilled-filled with different amounts of carbon black ( 7) wt%, at three temperatures of (5 o C, 4 o Cand 55 c C), whereas the samples were immersed in Diesel-Fuel nearly three days. It is clearly seen that the behavior of these samples obeys the Fickian diffusion, and the pp/pc filled with carbon black (4wt %), has lowest value of penetration of all samples. These results are agree well with the results obtained by Alfrey (8), Brewis () and Mahmood (4). Determination of diffusion coefficient by using an Equation (4) for PP/PC unfill-filled with different amounts of carbon black, immersed in Gas-Oil and Diesel-Fuel Figures (7-9) show the relation between M M and t L for PP/PC filled- unfilled with different amounts of carbon black ( 7) wt% at three temperatures (5 o C, 4 o C and 55 c C), the samples were immersed in Gas Oil nearly three days. It is clearly observed that the diffusion process obeys the Fickian diffusion and PP/PC filled with carbon black (4 wt %) has lowest value of diffusion than of all samples. These results are similar to the Pervious results Alfrey (8),Brewis () and Mahmood (4 ). Figures (-) show the relation between M M and t L for PP/PC unfilled-filled with different amounts of carbon black (-7) wt%, at three temperatures (5 o C, 4 o C and 55 c C), the samples were immersed in Diesel nearly three days. It is clearly seen that the behavior of these samples obey Fickian diffusion, and pp/pc filled with carbon black (4 wt %) has lowest value of diffusion of all samples. These results are in good agreement with the results obtained by Pervious results Alfrey (8), Brewis () and Mahmood (4). ESTIMATION THE TYPE OF DIFFUSION MECHANISM The type of diffusion can be determined by calculating the value of (n), the value of (n) can be calculated from the slope of plot log M M versus log t. Figures (3-8) show the relation between log ( t t t M M t ) and log t for PP/PC unfilled- filled with different amounts of carbon black ( 7) wt%, at three temperatures (5 o C, 4 o C and 55 c C), the samples were immersed in (Gas-Oil and 46

Eng. &Tech. Journal, Vol.3, Part (A), No., 3 Studying the Effect of Both Gas Oil and Diesel Diesel-Fuel), nearly three days. It is clearly observed that the data sorption have been further analyzed from the empirical relation. [Log ( M M ) = log K + n log t t ]... (7) Where the value of (n) decides the type of diffusion mechanism, the values of (n) estimated from the least square analysis of the slope of plots of log ( )versus log t. Representative plots are given in Figures (3-8) the M t M magnitude of n = (-.66 to.767) < / then the diffusion process obeys Fickian diffusion. These results are in good agreement with the results obtained by Lucht (5) and Chiou (6). DETERMINATION THE ACTIVATION ENERGY The activation energy from equation(4) is calculated from the slope of Ln D versus ( 3 /T). Figures (9-) show, the relation between Ln D versus reciprocal absolute temperature (/T) for PP/PC unfilled-filled with different amounts of carbon black ( 7) wt%, at three temperatures (5 o C, 4 o C and 55 c C), the samples were immersed in (Gas-Oil and Diesel-Fuel), nearly three days. From Equation (5), known as Arrhenius relation. It is clearly observed that from Figures (9-) the slope of Arrhenius plots can be calculated the activation energy. These results are in good reasonable agreement with results obtained by Giba (7) and Dannenberg (8). Figures (-) show the relation between activation energy for PP/PC blends were immersed in (Gas-Oil and Diesel-Fuel) versus different amounts of carbon black (,, 3,4,5,6 and 7) wt%. It is clearly observed that the activation energy increases with the increasing amounts of carbon black as filler (-7)wt% which means more energy is needed to break the samples. These results good reasonable with the results obtained by Moisan (9). CONCLUSIONS -The ability of diffusion of (Gas-Oil and Diesel-Fuel) as solvent of polymer blend (PP/PC) unfilled-filled with different amounts of carbon black decreases with increasing amounts of carbon black from ( 7) wt% and the behavior of these samples proves to obey Fickian law. -The polymer blend (PP/PC) filled with (4 wt %) of carbon black has lowest diffusion coefficients of all other samples. 3-Two methods have been used in this work to calculate the diffusion coefficient, the calculated values by both methods prove to be a approximately the same. 4-The activation energy of diffusion increases linearly with increasing amount of carbon black from ( 7) wt% used as a filler. 47
