Synopsis
Diffusion of small quantities of liquids in porous polymeric substrates has been studied by means of a radiotracer technique. The procedure has been applied to the permeation of five different types of paper stock by ethylene-1,2-C14 glycol. Data obtained indicate that under the experimental conditions the diffusion analogy is valid for solvent penetration in the systems studied. The method should have general applicability to studies of diffusion rates in cellulosic and other membranes and to investigations where only small quantities of diffusant are available.
