Notes:
Sorption kinetics and equilibria as well as permeabilities and diffusion time lags for CO2 in Kapton polyimide film have been studied at temperatures from 35 to 55°C and pressures up to 0.78 atm. The sorption/desorption cycles indicate that the diffusivity of CO2 increases with increasing local penetrant concentration in the polymer. Both the permeability and time lag decrease with increasing upstream CO2 pressure. All of these results are described well by theoretical expression based on the dual-mode theory of sorption and transport in glassy polymers.
