Gas Permeation in Semicrystalline Polyethylene as Studied by Molecular Simulation and Elastic Model

We have employed molecular simulation to study the permeation of two different gases (CH4 and CO2) in polyethylene. The simulations have been performed at temperatures below the polymer melting point. Although under such conditions, polyethylene is in a semicrystalline state, we have used simulation...
