Abstract

The physical and experimental technique of gas adsorption measurements by slow oscillations of a rotational pendulum or, likewise, the relaxational motion of a freely floating rotator are described. Combinations of the pendulum with either gravimetric or volumetric measurements are outlined. These especially are suited to measure the absorption or solubility of gases in non-rigid or swelling sorbent materials like polymers. Pros and cons of these methods are discussed in brief. List of symbols. References.
