Abstract Subject headings

Liquid and vapour n-hexane sorption/desorption were studied on homogeneous poly(ethylene-co-octene)s produced by metallocene-catalyzed polymerisation covering a crystallinity range from 3.5 to 72.4%. Crystal core contents determined by Raman spectroscopy were lower than those determined by density assessments, particularly at low degrees of crystallinity. The solubility showed deviation from Henry's law. The solubilities of n-hexane in the homogeneous copolymers depended in a non-linear manner on the content of penetrable polymer component and were lower than those earlier reported for heterogeneous copolymers at the same contents of penetrable component. The concentration dependence of the thermodynamic diffusivity predicted by the Cohen-Turnbull-Fujita free volume theory was confirmed by the data obtained by the differential method and the differences between the results obtained from the integral and differential methods were within the margins of experimental error. The fractional free Volume of the penetrable polymer fraction increased with increasing fraction of penetrable polymer and with relative proportion of liquid-like component in the penetrable polymer fraction. The homogeneous copolymers showed a decreasing trend in the geometrical impedance factor with increasing degree of crystallinity.
