Air dissolved under pressure in a film, made from natural rubber, causes its slight dilation. Sudden decompression of this film leads to its large transient dilation that afterwards vanishes within less than a minute (τ ≈ 20 s). Such transient expansion is apparently caused by internal stresses due to oversaturation. This behavior is analogous to the previously reported transient increase in the permeability to gases of the suddenly decompressed polymeric membranes. A clear correlation between results derived from the dilation and the permeability measurements seems to be evident.
