In this work, we used three gases (CO2, N2 and normal hexane) for diffusivity measurements in Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). We proposed a diffusion model that the diffusion coefficients of each gas in ABS could be estimated from the specific volume of ABS/gas mixture and chemical potential of gas in ABS. The solubility and diffusivity of three gases into ABS were determined by a magnetic suspension balance. The results showed that the solubility and diffusivity of three gases increased with increasing of pressure. Also it was determined that N2 has a lowest solubility and the highest diffusivity in ABS in all temperature and pressure ranges. It was shown that there was a suitable overlapping between the experimental and predicted values from the proposed model, in which the proposed model could successfully estimate the diffusion coefficient of mentioned gases in ABS in all temperature and pressure ranges.
