為什么碳酸飲料在塑料杯中氣泡較多？
Why do carbonated drinks seem to bubble more in plastic cups?

不知大家注意過(guò)沒(méi)有，同是碳酸飲料，裝在塑料瓶中的打開(kāi)時(shí)冒出的泡沫就比裝在鋁制易拉罐中的開(kāi)罐時(shí)冒出的泡沫多。難道是塑料瓶中的氣泡也跑出來(lái)了不成？當(dāng)然不是。不過(guò)這氣泡確實(shí)和塑料中的成分有關(guān)系。
 The properties and characteristics of a particular member of the plastics family, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), causescarbonateddrinks to bubble more in plastic cups.
PET, a clear, strongpolymer, hasunsurpassedgas andmoisturebarrier properties. Its ability to contain carbondioxidemakes it the plastic, and the material of choice for carbonated beverage containers.
PET containers have no competition in retaining carbon dioxide, the gas responsible for theeffervescent, bubbling effect. The property that gives rise to a vast number of bubbles is the unique barrier layers, which prevent the loss of carbonation. The barrier layers serve to keep the container airtight, which keeps the carbon dioxide from leaking out, and oxygen from entering. This is why containers made from PET plastic keep carbonated beverages colder, more flavorful, and fizzier.
