Steady‐state permeation rates for pure CO 2 , CH 4 , and O 2 through two kinds of homogeneous dense membranes, copolymer of methyl methacrylate and n ‐butyl acrylate and poly(methyl methacrylate), were measured at three temperatures between 20 and 40°C and upstream pressures up to 3 MPa. The logarithms of the mean permeability coefficients for CO 2 in both membranes increased linearly or quadratically with increasing upstream pressure, whereas the mean permeabilities for CH 4 and CO 2 were independent of pressure. The pressure dependence of the mean permeability coefficient for CO 2 was interpreted in terms of a modified free‐volume model of diffusion for a Henry's law population in glassy polymers. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
