GAS PERMEATION THROUGH GLASSY POLYMER MEMBRANES WITH RELATIVELY LOW GLASS-TRANSITION TEMPERATURE
When the glass-transition temperature of the polymer is not so much higher than the experimental temperature, the pressure dependence of the mean permeability coefficient of the polymer membrane to a gas is apt to deviate from the prediction by the conventional dual-mode mobility model, and to obey a similar model with concentration-dependent diffusivities because of the plasticization action of sorbed gas in the polymer membrane. In this work, sorption and permeation for oxygen and carbon dioxide in a membrane of polystyrene whose glass-transition temperatures is 95℃, were measured to discuss the mechanism of gas diffusion in glassy polymer membranes with relatively low glass-transition temperature at 30,40 and 50 ℃ respectively.
