Abstract

A calculation method for prediction of water permeability through polymers is suggested. An appropriate equation for calculating the activation free energy of permeability is proposed. The method is based on a set of atomic constants associated with the polymer-water interaction energy. The chemical structure of polymers as well as the degree of crystallininty, temperature, and free volume are taken into account. The method is also applicable for polymeric nanocomposites.
