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