Abstract
AbstractWater absorption studies were made on a series of high nitrile barrier polymers, as a function of polymer composition, rubber content, temperature, orientation and relative humidity. Results indicate that absorbed water has a great influence on both mechanical and thermal properties of the polymer. Absorbed water in high nitrile polymers causes a large decrease in the glass transition temperature and yield stress. These effects are found to depend on polymer composition, amount of absorbed water, and degree of orientation. The significance of these results is discussed in relation to end‐use properties of the polymer.
