The permeation of propane, propylene, ethane, and ethylene through 0.0051‐cm. thick polyethylene films was measured at temperatures between 25° and −30°C. Plots of P vs. 1/ T for C 3 H 8 , C 3 H 6 , and C 2 H 6 were saucer shaped, the activation energies changing from positive (endothermic) to negative (exothermic) over a narrow temperature range. This change is attributed to a plasticization‐condensation phenomenon and a change in intermolecular potentials.
