The moisture transport properties of a polyamide 6/clay nanocomposite have been studied through moisture sorption and permeation rate measurements. The temperature and concentration dependence of the steady state moisture uptake and permeation rate from the two types of experiment are distinctly different. The activation energy of moisture permeation obtained from the sorption experiment is lower than that derived from the permeation measurement. The interaction and contribution of the diffusion parameter and solubility parameter shows a complex moisture transport behavior in these nanocomposite films.
