1.1 Hydrophilicity of a polymer in relation to its structure
1.1.1 Experimental characterization of hydrophilicity
The hydrophilicity of a polymer can be gauged from the water contentw m (generally expressed in percent by mass), which it can reach at equilibrium in an isothermal medium with a constant hygrometric rate close to 100% RH (relative hygrometry).

Note that the time after which equilibrium is reached is of the...
