D. De Kee et al., Effect of temperature and elongation on the liquid diffusion and permeation characteristics of natural rubber, nitrile rubber, and bromobutyl rubber, J APPL POLY, 78(6), 2000, pp. 1250-1255
The diffusive properties of acetone, dichloromethane, and toluene in natura
l, nitrile, and bromobutyl rubber membranes at temperatures between 273 and
313 K and uniaxial elongations between 0 and 40% were investigated. As the
temperature and elongation increase, the steady state flux increases, and
the breakthrough time decreases. An increase in temperature leads to an inc
rease in permeability, and small extensions do not cause significant change
s in the diffusive properties. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
