Solubility (sorption) and transport measurements with water in solvent‐free poly (acrylonitrile)(PAN) (23) have been interpreted in terms of an extension of the “dual‐sorption” model for transport of small molecules in glassy polymers. Satisfactory agreement has been obtained between theory and experimental data. An earlier analysis of similar data for water in PAN containing 0.26 percent (by weight) of a residual solvent (1) has been compared with the present results in order to investigate the effects of residual solvent on the dual‐sorption and transport parameters for the water‐PAN system.
