can be expressed as the product of the solubility coefficient S, and the diffusion coefficient D: P = D x S (2) The addition of impermeable inorganic tillers into a polymer affects the gas diffusion mechanism through the material due to different permeability properties of the matrix and the foreign particles (19), (50).
CONCLUSIONS The experimental solubility coefficient K is based on the actual measurements of various concentrations of NCGs using the methods as stated previously herein.
It should be stressed, however, that many of the calculated or estimated parameters reported as part of a blood-gas analysis assume that the values for the dissociation constant (pK) for carbonic acid, solubility coefficient (~) for C[O.
