Vapour-Liquid Equilibrium Data of Binary Polymer Solutions

Knowledge of vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data is necessary for the proper understanding of a large number of industrial and laboratory processes. Such data allow a grasp of the thermodynamic behaviour of mixtures, the study of intermolecular interactions and enable insight into the molecular nature of mixtures. They are also a basis for the development of theoretical thermodynamic models. Scientists and engineers can benefit from a collection of the existing data This book aims to provide a reliable collection of such data. Original data have been gathered from around 450 literature sources, including 80 journals and a number of dissertations and diploma papers. Previously unpublished data from the Thermodynamic Department of the former Merseburg-University and the author's own data sets are included. The VLE-data are divided into three chapters: vapour pressures of binary polymer solutions (or solvent activities); segment-molar excess Gibbs free energies of binary polymer solutions (in the form of Redlich-Kister parameters); and weight fraction Henry-constants for gases and vapours in molten polymers (from inverse gas-liquid chromatography measurements).
A short introduction to the experimental methods and data reduction is included as Chapter 1. There are indices for the polymers and solvents cited.
