## Abstract CohenโTurnbull diffusion theory is used to develop a model for predicting solvent selfโdiffusion coefficients __D__~1~ in nonglassy polymer/solvent solutions. Polymer molecules are envisioned as hindering solvent mobility by reducing the average free volume per unit mass in the system a

## Abstract In chemical engineering applications involving solvent removal from a concentrated polymer solution where diffusion is the governing process (e.g. dry spinning of synthetic silkโlike fibres), the determination of the concentrationโdependent diffusion coefficient is essential. Diffusion
The process of adsorption-diffusion in polymer solutions is analysed by proposing a new phenomenological model. The important feature of the model is the incorporation of the phenomenon of disengagement of the chains at the pore mouth from the adsorbed entangled chains present around the porous adso
