description The study of the effect of thickness on the mass uptake is shown to be quite helpful in the understanding of the complexities of polymer/organic penetrant sorption behavior. Isothermal diffusion results for methanol, acetone, and carbon tetrachloride in polycarbonate plates and films of various thicknesses ranging from 12 mils (0.030 cm) to 1/4 in. (0.633 cm) are presented. The diffusion is purely Fickian only in the case of methanol, which is a poor solvent for polycarbonate and has a low level of saturation in it (0.06 g/g). Methanol does not lead to a detectable swelling or any appreciable crystallization of the polymer during the diffusion process. Acetone and carbon tetrachloride are much better solvents and lead to much higher saturation levels; they crystallize polycarbonate, and their mass uptake is anomalous. The diffusion of carbon tetrachloride exhibits initially a case II diffusion behavior followed for thicker plates by an intermediate behavior between case II and Fickian diffusion. The anomalous diffusion in the case of acetone appears to be associated primarily with surface effects.
