Transport Properties of Gases in Polymers: Bibliographic Review

After some general considerations and basic equations on transport phenomena in polymers, this review, exclusively bibliographical, presents different concepts and theoretical models that have been proposed and developed to describe the transport mechanism of molecular species in polymers by diffusion. Based on numerous previous studies, it will show how the permeability of gases (or organic vapours) depends strongly on the polymer structure (degree of crystallinity, thermal and mechanical histories), on the penetrant size and nature as well as on the conditions of temperature and pressure.
