Using the field gradient NMR technique, anomalous molecular diffusion
in a porous host matrix of polypropylene could be followed over a subs
tantial range of observation times. The experimentally determined time
exponents of anomalous diffusion are found to decrease with decreasin
g pore filling factors, indicating an enhancement of molecular confine
ment. For sufficiently large observation times normal diffusion is obs
erved and the effect of confinement results in a mere reduction of the
effective diffusivity, which is independent of the given molecular sp
ecies.
