Abstract

This chapter reviews gas permeation and barrier properties of crystalline and liquid crystalline polymers from both theoretical mechanism and experimental measurement. The permeability is closely related to both solubility and diffusivity in polymers. Various factors such as crystallinity and crystalline-amorphous morphology play important roles in the solubility and diffusivity, and thus the permeability of crystalline and liquid crystalline polymers.
