It was observed that the reflectivity changes were fast and reversible. The changes in reflectivity implied the swelling behavior of polymeric film during adsorbtionand can be explained by capturing of chloroform molecules.Fick's law for diffusion was used to quantify real time SPR data for the swelling proces. It was observed that diffusion coefficients (D_{s}) for swelling obeyed the t1/2 law and found to be correlated with the amount of chloroform content in the cell.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLangmuir-Blodgett thin filmsPolystyreneDiffusion coefficientLangmuir-Blodgett ince filmlerDifüzyon katsayısıPolisitrenArticle13111123
