Abstract

The modified dual-mode mobility model for permeation of a gas in glassy polymer membranes was combined with the extended dual-mode sorption model to take account of the plasticization effect of sorbed gas molecules on both sorption and diffusion processes. The combined model was further simplified by the introduction of a concentration of the mobile gas species. However, the observed pressure dependence of mean permeability coefficients of carbon dioxide in methylmethacrylate-n-butyl acrylate copolymer and polymethylmethacrylate films at 30°c and also that of oxygen in a polycarbonate film at 50°C and 60°C showed that a plasticization action of sorbed gas species has an influence on the diffusion process rather than on the sorption process, that is, were simulated by the modified dual-mode mobility model combined with the conventional dual-mode sorption model.
