## Abstract An experimental technique for the simultaneous measurement of solubility and diffusion coefficients in polymers by frequency response techniques has been developed. A sample of polymer suspended from an electrobalance is exposed to a permeating gas whose pressure is being varied sinusoi
## Abstract A method of moments has been formulated for the determination of the diffusivity of a gas in a polymer from a step response in a continuous permeation chamber. Contributions of system components other than the polymer are easily factored out to determine the contribution of the polymer
The accurate measurement of water vapor sorption and permeation in polymers is complicated because water has a tendency to adsorb on high energy surfaces, a relatively high heat of vaporization, and a high solubility in most polymers. These issues and the difficulties they cause in the design of sor
An in situ gravimetric technique, employing an electrobalance, is described for determining the solubility and diffusivity of gases in polymers over extended ranges of temperature and pressure. Solubilities of CO 2 in polystyrene at 35ะC were measured as a test case; the results are in excellent agr
