Molecular transport of toluene, methanol, and cyclohexane and their mixtures in Chemraz 505 elastomer has been investigated using gravimetric techniques for short and long time exposure in these solvents. The sorption-desorption results have been used to calculate the diffusion coefficients by solving Fick's equation under appropriate boundary conditions. The dependence of sorption, desorption, diffusion, and permeation on temperature and composition changes was also studied. The results are discussed in terms of possible interactions between Chemraz 505 polymer and the solvent molecules. (c) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016, 133, 43449.
