Jc. Roussel et al., PENETRATION OF SOLVENTS AND THEIR MIXTURES INTO POLYETHYLENE AS STUDIED BY MAGNETIC-RESONANCE-IMAGING, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 91(6), 1994, pp. 704-709
We describe qualitatively and quantitatively the penetration of solven
ts and mixture of solvents into solid polyethylene by nuclear magnetic
resonance and magnetic resonance imaging. We show that the penetratio
n in general obeys Fick's law and that the behavior of mixed solvents
is quite different from that of the pure components.
