The diffusion and transport of organic solvents through lignin‐filled natural rubber composites have been studied in the temperature range 25–45°C. The diffusion of aromatic solvents through these samples were studied with special reference to the effect of filler concentration, penetrant size, and temperature. Transport coefficients such as diffusion, permeation, and sorption coefficients were estimated. The van't Hoff relationship was used to determine the thermodynamic parameters. The first order kinetic rate constant has been evaluated. A correlation between theoretical and experimental sorption results was evaluated. POLYM.
