The balanced sorption of a sterilizing gas--ethylene oxide (EO)--by medical polymers most commonly used in medical industry is studied. These polymers are compositions on the base of polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), natural and silicone rubbers. The absorption coefficients for EO and the above materials are calculated. The most sorption capacity is inherent in the PVC-based compositions and the least one--in the PE-based materials. The latters as well as silicone rubber materials are recommended for medical engineering products subjected to gaseous sterilization.
研究了医疗行业最常用的医用聚合物对杀菌气体环氧乙烷（EO）的平衡吸附情况。这些聚合物是以聚氯乙烯（PVC）、聚乙烯（PE）、天然橡胶和硅橡胶为基础的组合物。计算了EO对上述材料的吸收系数。PVC基组合物的吸附能力最强，而PE基材料的吸附能力最弱。对于需要进行气体灭菌的医疗工程产品，推荐使用后者以及硅橡胶材料。
