Diffusion in Polymers

Summary of knowledge about diffusion in high polymers written by a panel of authors, each of whom has made important contributions to developments in the subject. The first chapter introduces the basic techniques of measurement and computation. Subsequent chapters deal with the diffusion of gases and vapor including influence of inhomogeneities in the medium, followed by a chapter addressing measurement of polymer solution rates and application of diffusion concepts. The final three chapters are concerned with polymer-water systems and the diffusion of other components such as organic dyestuffs and small ions in such systems.
