A thermodynamic interpretation of the permeation process of gas transport through polymeric membranes is proposed. The mechanism used does not require the usual P = DS relationship. The dependence of gas permeability upon the crystallinity, strain, etc. is presented, and a method for obtaining values for the entropy of crystallization is suggested. Literature data have been correlated by this approach and values for the entropy of crystallization of polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and nylon 610 were derived.
