Abstract

Quote: In the course of some experiments on dialyzation, my assistant, Mr. C. W. Eberlein, called my attention to the fact that a liquid in a collodion bag, which was suspended in the air, evaporated, although the bag was tightly closed. This is the original observation reported by Kober in 1917 (Chap. 8, Ref. [12]). Collodion is cellulose nitrate, permeable to water (Sect. 7.1). A parallel to the loss of water through packaging film or, for that matter, contact lenses comes to mind.
