Desiccant Films Made of Low-Density Polyethylene with Dispersed Silica Gel—Water Vapor Absorption, Permeability (H<sub>2</sub>O, N<sub>2</sub>, O<sub>2</sub>, CO<sub>2</sub>), and Mechanical Properties

Desiccant Films Made of Low-Density Polyethylene with Dispersed Silica Gel—Water Vapor Absorption, Permeability (H<sub>2</sub>O, N<sub>2</sub>, O<sub>2</sub>, CO<sub>2</sub>), and Mechanical Properties

Silica gel is a well-known desiccant. Through dispersion of silica gel in a polymer, films can be made that absorb and desorb water vapor. The water vapor absorption becomes reversible by exposing such films to a water vapor pressure below that of the water vapor pressure during absorption, or by he...
