Forward osmosis is a rapidly emerging technology that has potential to enable low cost water treatment and desalination. Previous investigations have found that reverse osmosis (RO) membranes were unsuitable for forward osmosis in part due to their hydrophobic support layers, which inhibit wetting.

The solubility of C2H6 and C2F6 in two amorphous glassy fluoropolymers, Teflon® AF1600 and AF2400, has been modeled with the non equilibrium statistical associating fluid (NE-SAFT) and non equilibrium perturbed hard sphere chain (NE-PHSC) theories. Experimental swelling data during sorption are avai
