β¦ Synopsis
Permeability coefficients have been measured for CO, and CH, in polyethylene membranes at 20, 30, and 40Β°C and at applied gas pressures up to ca. 2 MPa and for CH, in three kinds of rubber films at 25, 30, and 35OC and at applied gas pressures up to ca. 2.4 MPa. The pressure dependence of the logarithms of permeability coe5cients became linear except for the C0,-polyethylene system, where the pressure dependence became quadratic, with a minimum at a certain value of pressure. The linear and quadratic dependences can be interpreted by a free volume model of diffusion of a gas molecule in polymers. The temperature dependence of the permeability coefficients a t zero pressure difference across the polymer f i l m for each system obeyed an Arrhenius type equation.

The effect of pressure on gas permeability of a rubbery polymer, 1,2-polybutadiene, is investigated for 15 gases with various molecular sizes and solubilities in the ranges of pressure up to 110 atm at 25Β°C. The permeability for slightly soluble gases (He, Ne, Hz, Nz, 02, and Ar) decreases with incr
Simple equations are derived that describe integral sorption and desorption experiments under conditions where moving boundary effects in polymer films and spheres can be large because of high solvent concentrations. General conclusions are formulated about the nature of sorption and desorption expe
