THE PERMEABILITY OF THIN DRY COLLODION MEMBRANES.
Dry thin collodion membranes have been prepared which are permeable to water, ammonia, weak acids of low molecular weight, HCl gas, O(2), CO(2), and H(2)S, but are impermeable to strong electrolytes and substances of high molecular weight. The permeability to gases does not depend on the density, so that the gases do not pass through pores in the membrane.
