The problem of estimating the permeability of hyaluronic acid as a function of concentration has been examined. A previously known method of obtaining permeability from sedimentation studies has been employed, and the results have been compared to those obtained from convection studies, in which solvent is forced through the hyaluronic acid. The two sets of results were seen to be at variance, which could be explained by a flow-induced polarization of the hyaluronic acid in the convection studies. The polarization phenomenon was described in terms of a convection-associated compaction balancing the hyaluronic acid's intrinsic resistance to compression. Based on these results and other arguments, it was suggested that data from sedimentation studies provide a more accurate estimate of hyaluronic acid permeability than do convection experiments. The implications of this finding in a physiological context were briefly discussed.
