The self‐diffusion coefficient of dodecane in cross‐linked polystyrene was measured using pulsed gradient spin echo nuclear magnetic resonance (PGSE–NMR) spectroscopy. The concentration and temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient was analyzed by the Fujita and Vrentas–Duda models. Parameters describing the Fujita model were determined from fitting of diffusion data to the PVT behavior of the system. Parameters describing the Vrentas–Duda model were determined from the analysis of the viscosity of dodecane, the viscoelastic relaxation properties, and the glass transition temperature of polystyrene as well as from the diffusion coefficient of the system, measured from independent experiments. Both the Fujita and Vrentas–Duda models described well the concentration and temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient. Mutual diffusion coefficients were determined from these results. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
