Notes:
The rates of sorption of water vapor and of methanol vapor in cellulose film were examined by stepwise increments of vapor pressure. In addition, the rates of sorption of the series of vapors water, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, and n-butanol were studied at pressures just below the respective saturated vapor pressures. The results obtained from both parts of the study are explained in terms of a bimodal diffusion mechanism. This consists of the simultaneous diffusion of vapor into the microporous structure of the cellulose film and diffusion from the micropores into the polymer matrix.
