    Payne Cell Gravimetric Measurements in Polymer-Solvent Systems for Diffusion Coefficients and Isotherm Data
    (Wiley, 2021) Zielinski, John M.; Garcia, Armando R.; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide
    The discussion focuses on the application of a Payne cell to the measurement of diffusion and solubility coefficients in polymer/solvent systems. Payne cells have, thus far, been used exclusively to measure steady-state permeation rates of solvents. An analytical model has been developed to describe transient gravimetric sorption and desorption measurements performed with a Payne cell. The model has been validated by a complementary numerical simulation and has been applied to evaluate diffusion and solubility coefficients in two different toluene-silicone rubber systems. The data measured using the Payne cell are found to compare very well with diffusion coefficient and isotherm data measured by traditional gravimetric sorption experiments.

    The Effect of Mass Transfer Resistance and Nonuniform Initial Solvent Concentration on Permeation Through Polymer Membranes
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2018) Zielinski, John M.; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide
    A numerical simulation model has been developed which enables one to examine the effects of surface mass transfer resistance on the evaluation of permeation (P*), diffusion (D), and solubility (S) coefficients from unsteady-state mass transfer experiments as well as the transmission rate. A complementary analytical expression has been developed which validates the numerical model and facilitates the evaluation of the concentration dependence of P*, D, and S from sequential step-change experiments, under experimental conditions when the surface mass transfer resistance can be neglected.
