Solubility parameter Regular solutions – heat of mixing (Hilderbrand and Scott 1949) V is total volume, DE is energy of vaporization, f volume fraction Before mixing After mixing If we assume that there is no specific interactions (hydrogen bonding etc.) , we ca assume that interaction e12 is some average from e11 and e22 Example geometrical mean (small numbers are more weighted) e11 represents how molecules 1 interact with itself – i.e. Cohesive energy or energy of vaporization energy of vaporization per volume
General rule: polymer will dissolve if solubility parameters (solvent and polymer) are close to each other (1) If there are specific interactions (like hydrogen bonding...) then polymer can dissolve even if the solubility parameter difference is large.. Like poly(ethylene oxide) and water..
3.2.2 Experimental determination Crosslinked polymers: Best solvent gives the maximum swelling Non-crosslinked polymers: Best solvent (best solvent = similar solubility parameter) – polymer coil conformation is most expanded instric viscosity largest
Theoretical calculation ,where G is group molar attraction constant, r polymer density and M is repeat unit molar mass Example polystyrene: 133 28 735 Example polyethylene:
