The behavior of solvent(-induced) swelling of coal without complete dissolution in any solvents has been used as evidence for the three-dimensionally cross-linked macromolecular network model of coal structure. Sanada and Honda applied the statistical theory of rubber elasticity to coal swelling. Since then coal swelling has been used to characterize the macromolecular nature of coal by many workers. Four major methods have been used: the volumetric method using glass tubes gravimetric method the method requiring a piston type of apparatus and direct observation using a microscope. The easiest and most commonly used one is probably the volumetric method.
