Abstract

In this work we have studied the permeability  of polymer films that had a core and shell composed  by polystyrene and poly (butyl acrylate) in a mass relation of 40 and 60, respectively. Permeability coefficient measurements were made in the Permeation  Chamber  "Voyager".  The  permeated  gases  were  nitrogen,  oxygen,  methane  and  carbon  dioxide  at  a temperature of 35 °C and pressures of 2 and 4 atmospheres. According to the results, the permeabilities of the films using latex obtained by polymerization in microemulsion were lower compared to those obtained using latex core-shell polymer obtained  by  emulsion  polymerization  and  this  is  due  to  that  smaller  diameter nanoparticles  were  obtained  by microemulsion  polymerization  than  those  obtained  by  emulsion.  Also,  a  direct  relationship  between  the  coefficient  of permeability of gases with critical temperatures of the gases was found.
