Popis: The concentration dependence and temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient, as discussed in Part I, are validated with literature data on poly(styrene) and on poly(vinylacetate). The effect on diffusivity, of a uniaxial tensile stress state and of a biaxial tensile stress state, is measured with permeation tests on stretched poly(ethyleneterephthalate) (PET) films. The influence of semi-crystallinity is briefly discussed. Further, diffusivity measurements under a tensile stress state, under a compressive stress state, and under a pure shear stress state are performed on Ultem® polyimide films, using a modified sorption technique. Good agreement between theoretical predictions and experiment is found. Finally, predictions by the solubility model discussed in Part I are compared with data on low density polyethylene and on Ultem polyimide.
