Permeation of Gases and Vapours in Polymers

  • Chapter
Polymer Permeability

Abstract

The solution and transport behaviour of low molecular weight substances in polymeric materials is a topic of interest for many fields of science and technology. The importance and relevance of such behaviour has become more apparent in recent years with the accelerating development of separation membrane systems, highly impermeable or selectively permeable packaging or barrier films, and the overall increase in the use of polymeric materials for diverse applications with consequent exposure to various environmental agents.
