Article

Summary

The permeability of glucose-containing poly-(vinylpyrrolidone) films to oxygen was studied. It was found that the permeability initially decreases with increasing glucose content reaching its minimum at about 16 wt.% of glucose, and then increases with further increase in glucose content. The amount of water in the films was also measured and the effect of glucose on oxygen permeation was related to the effect of water sorption on the same property.
