Abstract
A theoretical interpretation for the permeation of binary organic liquid mixtures through polymer films is developed. The model is based on an extension of the free-volume theory for diffusion of organic substances in polymers and takes into account the effect of one component of the mixture on the diffusion of the other component. The calculated permeabilities are in reasonable agreement with experimentally measured data.Keywords
