Abstract
New membranes based on styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), natural rubber (NR) and SBR/NR blends were prepared for gas permeation studies. The effects of the nature and the degree of crosslinking in both SBR and SBR/NR blends on gas permeation behaviour were examined. The effects of blend composition an d morphology on the gas permeation behaviour were also investigated. Theore tical models proposed by Maxwell, Bruggemen and Bottcher were used to inves tigate the relationship between morphology and permeation properties. (C) 2 000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
