A fractal model is proposed for the structure of poly(vinyltrimethylsilane). The proposed model explains the large diffusion coefficients for vitreous polymers. This model accounts for the structural features of polymers and diffusing gases. It is demonstrated that the molecular characteristics of the polymer affect the diffusion process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
