Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores penetrativeness, a newfound scientific principle that describes the movement of gases and liquids through solid membranes. The author's discovery reveals a principle of molecular infiltration with a force far beyond atmospheric pressure, suggesting a potential power of over six hundred pounds per square inch. Experiments with membranes formed of gum elastic and animal tissue show varying rates of penetration based on the size and nature of the molecules. Penetrativeness is also dependent on the temperature and moisture of the atmosphere, suggesting implications for atmospheric phenomena like evaporation and the diffusion of odours. The author's work provides a fresh perspective on respiration, cuticular absorption, and the potential for treating disease with gaseous agents.
