Abstract
A mathematical model is formulated for solvent dissolution of rubbery and glassy polymers. An exact solution to the problem is derived for the constant diffusivity case, and a weighted residual solution is developed for the case of a concentration-dependent diffusion coefficient. The solution is used to calculate concentration profiles, dissolution curves, dissolution half-times, and pseudointerface positions at various times.
