Summary

Methylene chloride transport in copolymers of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) was studied at 25°C using Raman microprobe spectroscopy. It is shown that the abrupt change of the penetrant concentration at the rubbery/glassy interface during swelling can be detected and followed to obtain useful information about the penetrant transport mechanisms in these copolymers.
