Abstract

Abstract A theory is proposed to explain the transport behaviour of organic penetrants in glassy polymers in terms of two basic parameters: the diffusivity of the penetrant, D, and the viscous flow rate of the glassy polymer, 1 η 0 . The rate controlling process for transport in these systems is considered to be diffusion of solvent down an activity gradient coupled with time-dependent mechanical deformation of the polymer glass in response to the swelling stress. The theory combines these two factors and is able to predict a wide range of observed transport phenomena from Fickian diffusion kinetics at one extreme to so-called Case II and Super-Case II behaviour at the other. The existence of a sharp front separating swollen and unpenetrated polymer is shown to result from the concentration dependence of the viscous flow rate.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
