Oxygen permeability in ultrathin and microporous membranes during gas-liquid transfer.
The apparatus described here offers a useful system for measuring membrane oxygen permeabilities with the membrane in contact with liquid on one side. Results using this system indicate that liquid migration into the pores of microporous membranes can play a significant role in reducing their permeability to oxygen.
