Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data of the solubility (binodal) curves and tie-line compositions were examined for mixtures of (limonene (1) + linalool (2) + ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol or triethylene glycol or 1,2-propylene glycol (3)) at 298.15 K and 101.3 ( 0.7 kPa. The relative mutual solubility of linalool is higher in the limonene layers than in the ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol or triethylene glycol or 1,2-propylene glycol layers. The reliability of the experimental tie-line data was confirmed by using the Othmer-Tobias correlation. The LLE data of the ternary systems was predicted by the UNIFAC method. Distribution coefficients and separation factors were evaluated for the immiscibility region.
Swelling behaviour of poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVC) and poly(N-vinylcaprolactam-co-itaconic acid) (P(VC-co-IA)) gels was investigated in different solvents (water, ethanol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), chloroform, toluene, acetone) and in binary solvent mixtures (ethanol/chloroform, ethanol/methanol, IPA/chloroform, ethanol/water, IPA/water). Gels were synthesised in ethanol by the free radical cross-linking polymerisation method at 60°C for 24 h in the presence of azobis( isobutyronitrile) and allyl methacrylate as the initiator and cross-linker, respectively. And also, ethanol/distilled water mixture (φ
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.
