Self-diffusion coefficients in different domains of the sample can be extracted through a bi- exponential fit to the echo intensity attenuation, which allows the precise determination of the tortuosity of the polyethylene particles. Further exploration comes from the measurements with branched polyethylene particles and it was found that the diffusion in polymer phase contributed significantly to the slow component of the exponential decay curve. 2007 Jing Dai Wang.
