Abstract

The hypothetical polyethylene melt at room temperature is of interest for the purposes of developing the atomic level modeling of gas solubilities in rubbery polymers. In the present study, the gas solubilities in completely amorphous polyethylene are predicted by extrapolating alkane behavior to the long chain limit in a Flory-Huggins context. The results are seen to agree well with a recent simulation study.
