The transport properties of the poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) materials to He, N2, O2, and CO2are correlated with two polymer molecular structure parameters, that is, cohesive energy density (CED) and fractional free volume (FFV), determined by the group contribution method. In our preceding paper, the attempt was made to approximate EVA permeability using a linear function of 1/FFV as predicted by the free volume theory. However, the deviations from this relationship appeared to be significant. In this paper, it is shown that permeation of gas molecules is controlled not only by free volume but also by the polymer cohesive energy. Moreover, the behavior of CO2was found to differ significantly from that of other gases. In this instance, the correlation is much better when diffusivity instead of permeability is taken into account in a modified transport model.

Abstract The entropy of swelling of vulcanized rubber is estimated, and assumed independent of the nature of the swelling liquid. The heat of swelling is related to the cohesive energy of the liquid, and a value of 66 calories per cc. deduced for the cohesive energy density of rubber. The swelling power of a liquid can be calculated approximately if its cohesive energy and molecular volume are known. Substantial agreement with theory is found in most cases, although it is necessary to consider aliphatic and aromatic liquids separately. The anomalously high swelling power of acids and alcohols arises from their association.
