Effect of pressure on Tg • The pressure increases the Tg of pure polymers • The presence of a solvent decreases the Tg of the polymer (plasticization) • What will happen when a SCF is interacting with a polymer at high pressures?
Plasticization of glassy polymers: Retrograde vitrification
Handling the Glassy State with EOS • Density: An order parameter for the non-equilibrium glassy state. Thus: (Macromolecules 1998, 31, 7915; IEC Res. 2004, 43, 6841) • The Gibbs-DiMarzio criterion: S 0 at Tg
Handling the Glassy State with EOS The Gibbs-DiMarzio Approach • The Gibbs-DiMarzio criterion: • The key LF equations: S 0 at Tg
Handling the Glassy State with EOS The Gibbs-DiMarzio Approach • The Gibbs-DiMarzio criterion: • Calculation of entropy: S 0 at Tg
