The inverse gas chromatography method was used for the investigation of the partition and
diffusion coefficients of polysulfone and polyetherimide with NMP, γ-butyrolactone, DMSO, acetic
acid, propionic acid, THF, and water over a range of temperature from 200 to 270 °C. The weight-fraction infinite-dilution activity coefficients for the solvents, the Flory−Huggins interaction
parameters, and the solubility parameters of the polymers are reported.
Experimental results for the activity coefficients at infinite dilution of 13 binary systems of either hexane or heptane or cyclohexane with 1-propanol or 2-propanol or 1-butanol and those compounds with either perfluorohexane or perfluoroheptane are reported for temperatures from 298 K to 343 K. Furthermore, experimental results for the activity coefficients of these perfluoroalkanes at infinite dilution in binary mixtures of one of those alkanes and one of those alcohols at 298 K are reported. Some of the new experimental results agree well with literature data. The new experimental data are also compared to predictions from several group contribution methods. The best predictions are achieved with a UNIFAC model with corrections for "free volume" contributions and with a modification of Kehiaian's method. The differences between predictions from those models and the new experimental data typically amount to about 10%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
