## Abstract Sorption kinetic data for the interaction of water vapor with flax (__Linum usitatissimum__ L.) were analyzed used the parallel exponential kinetics (PEK) model, with excellent fits to the data being obtained. The PEK model is the sum of two exponential kinetics processes (fast and slow

A solvatochromic method was used to characterize the water sorption behavior of polymer films. Four different dyes were dissolved in various solid polymers and the relative water vapor pressure in the atmosphere was changed. Evaluated solvatochromic parameters depended not only on the amount of sorb
Specimens of epoxy resin reinforced with ultrahigh-modulus polyethylene (UHMPE) fibers were immersed in water, and their swelling characteristics were recorded at various temperatures. In addition to an estimation of the response of those composite, the above study aimed at the exploration of the ro
Acoustic microscopy has been used to examine changes during water swelling at the surface of a rubber previously treated with an acrylic monomer. Surface modi®cation was carried out with acrylic acid either in aqueous solution or in the vapour phase, and a photografting reaction was achieved with an
