Sorption and permeation in elastic solids: applicability to gas transport in glassy polymeric materials
Authors:G Glenn Lipscomb  Tapan Banerjee  Mukesh Chhajer
Abstract:A thermodynamic analysis of sorption and transport in elastic solids is presented. The penetrant's chemical potential in the solid is calculated from the free energy changes that accompany deformation of the solid to accommodate the penetrant and mixing of the deformed solid and penetrant. Sorption isotherms are obtained by equating this chemical potential to that of that of the gas phase. The penetrant diffusivity is determined from a statistical mechanical analysis described in the literature. Both pure and mixed gas solubility, diffusivity and permeability are predicted. Mixed gas behavior is predicted using material parameters obtained from pure gas data only. The results suggest certain relationships between the dual mode model parameters that are found experimentally. Comparison with several experimental gas–polymer systems indicate the elastic solid analysis can reproduce pure gas data and predict mixed gas data well with physically realistic material parameters. The results provide a basis for investigating the relationships between the mechanical, volumetric, gravimetric and thermodynamic processes that give rise to transport.
