Abstract
This paper reports a study of mineral oil diffusion through a filled ethylene-vinyl acetate crosslinked polymer, together with some comparisons with aliphatic linear hydrocarbons. Permeation was monitored by classical gravimetric measurements leading to values of solubility and diffusion coefficient at several temperatures ranging from 20 to 120 °C. Diffusion coefficients display a change in activation energy at at ca. 70 °C for mineral oils but not for simple hydrocarbons. The values obtained were discussed regarding available structure-diffusivity relationships and diffusion models derived from free volume theory. A relationship between penetrant evaporation temperature and its diffusivity was observed and tentatively justified.
