Dense membranes of Hyflon AD 60X were prepared by the solvent evaporation method and by melt pressing. The diffusion coefficient, solubility and permeability of the membranes were measured for six permanent gases using time lag and steady state permeation measurements. The thermal properties were determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and the solvent content was measured gravimetrically and was estimated by the Fox equation. It was found that unusually strong solvent retention in the solution-cast membrane leads to considerable plasticization of the polymer, to possible foam formation upon drying and, most important, to significant changes in the permeation properties. The residual solvent increases the diffusion coefficient and permeability of the larger gas species up to almost one order of magnitude, and it reduces the permselectivity. For most gas species the solubility is about two times higher in the solvent-free melt-pressed film than in the solution-cast film. The relation between the residual solvent and the membrane properties is discussed.
