A typical sorption experiment involves exposing a polymer sample, initially at an equilibrium penetrant concentration of c to a bathing penetrant concentration of Ci. The weight gain or loss is then measured as a function of time. The term sorption used in this context includes both absorption and desorption. The sorption is of the integral type if c° = 0 in the case of absorption or if cf = 0 in the case of desorption. Details of the experimental setup for the sorption measurement are discussed elsewhere [4],...

Tolmetin (Tolectin) is indicated for the relief of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and moderate pain. It is ineffective in gouty arthritis for unknown reasons. Tolmetin can inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2 but has a moderate selectivity for COX-1. The most frequently reported side effects are GI disturbance and CNS reactions (e.g., headache, asthenia, and dizziness). These effects are less frequently observed than after aspirin or indomethacin use. Blood pressure elevation, edema, and weight gain or loss have been associated with tolmetin administration. Tolmetin metabolites in urine have been found to produce pseudoproteinuria in some laboratory tests.
