Sorption characteristics of vapors of pure hydrocarbon and their binary mixtures in low‐density polyethylene were studied under various conditions of temperature and pressure. A new apparatus devised and utilized for the determination of composition of sorbed vapor in case of binary mixtures is described. The study demonstrates the effect of the presence of one component within the polymer on the sorption of another and also the occurrence of selectivity in sorption.
