3.1 Water and ethanol uptake As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, standard Fickian diffusion does not seem to have been followed for the uptake of water, however, an interesting three-stage diffusion mechanism was detected for water and ethanol. All samples displayed an initial quick diffusion rate but then followed a slower increase in the water uptake in the second stage before leveling out in the third stage, potentially indicating saturation.
