Gas Transport in Glassy Polymers

Abstract

This issue is devoted to fundamental analysis of fluid sorption, diffusion, and permeation in glassy polymers suitable for the above mentioned applications (e.g. fluid separation, carbon capture, water purification, energy production and storage, biological applications, sensors, etc.). Topics of interest include the experimental analysis of fundamental aspects of sorption and transport in glassy materials, such as glass transition, ageing, thin films, nanoconfinement, plasticization, swelling, competitive sorption, and stress effects. We will also welcome modeling works presenting macroscopic, atomistic, mesoscopic, or multiscale approaches that describe sorption and transport in glassy matrices. Prof. Dr. Giulio C. Sarti
