โฆ Synopsis
The permeation of water has been measured through polyimide film over a range of thicknesses, temperatures, and relative humidities. The concentration of absorbed water was found to depend on the relative humidity and not on the temperature or sample thickness, reaching a maximum of one water molecule per repeat unit at 100% rh. This is discussed in terms of adsorption, with supporting data found in the surface-layer contribution to the permeability coefficient.

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
