Notes:
Sorption isotherms show that epoxide prepolymers sorb water in increasing amounts as the temperature decreases and the water vapor concentration increases. Below Tg the behavior is typical of a Fickian transport combined with a relaxation process. Diffusion coefficients as function of sorption rates provide temperature shift factors from which the activation energy for diffusion is 35.3 KJ/mol. Combined effect of temperature and water concentration is described by a second order polynomial.
