Abstract
A constitutive equation is proposed for the viscoelastic diffusion flux, and this equation is used to calculate sorption curves for differential step-change sorption experiments. The predictions of the theory are shown to be consistent with eight experimental observations that report a wide range of diffusional behaviors for polymer-solvent systems.
