Statistical mechanical model for diffusion of simple penetrants in polymers. II. Applications—nonvinyl polymers

Abstract: The theory developed in Part I of this series is applied to a number of nonvinyl “smooth” chained homopolymers. The agreement between predicted and observed activation energies of diffusion for simple penetrants is generally good, particularly for polyethylene. Discrepancies observed for the smallest penetrants, He and H2, in some polymers may be rationalized in terms of atomic scale irregularities on the polymer chain surface. It is shown that in favorable cases the theory may permit diffusion data to be used… Show more

“…This theory was extended to include the diffusion coefficient D. One supposes that D increases with the frequency of the cooperative main-chain motions (Pace and Datyner, 1979a). The following expressions are then obtained:…”

“…Moreover, the molecule anisotropy (spherical or elongated molecule) has a noticeable effect too (Stannett, 1968). Let us remind that the activation energy of diffusion represents the energy necessary for the separation of the polymer chains by cooperative motions of sufficient amplitude to allow the penetrant to undergo its diffusional jump (Pace and Datyner, 1979a, 1979b, 1979c. It is then clear that for big molecules, requiring larger holes to diffuse, the activation energy as well as the pre-exponential term D 0 will be higher.…”

“…Several techniques like gravimetry [1][2][3][4], permeation cell [5,6] and NMR [7] have been adopted to measure solubility and diffusion coefficients. From a theoretical point of view, these two quantities are usually described and calculated through the concept of free volume [8][9][10], the dual-mode transport model [11][12][13][14], and molecular theories [15][16][17][18].…”

“…They predict that the activation energy of diffusion increases with increasing cohesive energy density of the polymer (CED p ) and size of the penetrant 21) According to the statistical mechanical model of Pace and Datyner [36][37][38][39][40] , the activation energy was interpreted in terms of the physical characteristics of the polymer 21,36,41) :…”
