The density, kinematic viscosity, and refractive index of aqueous solutions of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) have been measured at (298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, 318.15, 323.15, and 328.15) K. The PEG samples had an average molecular mass (1000 and 10000). The density and refractive index results were correlated to a first-order polynomial with respect to PEG mass fraction at each temperature. It was shown that from the refractive index results the density of the aqueous PEG mixtures can be predicted accurately. The kinematic viscosity results were correlated by a newly modified Eyring's viscosity model. The parameters of the model were determined and presented.
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.
