The effects of embedding gaseous SF 6 into EPDM rubber were investigated using NMR methods. It was found that observed sorption and desorption processes follow the behavior of the dual mode sorption model. A strong correlation was found between EPDM cross‐linking and transversal relaxation time of embedded SF 6 . EPDM samples with different cross‐link densities, preliminarily determined by 1 H transversal relaxation using the Gotlib model and Litvinov's method, were investigated using embedded SF 6 . The sensitivity of the 19 F transversal relaxation rate of SF 6 to the EPDM cross‐link density variation was found to be at least 10 times higher than for 1 H in the polymer chain. First experiments on probing the swelling effects in EPDM due to its contact with polar liquids have been performed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
