Abstract:An approach has been developed to estimate the solubility and diffusivity of toxic phosphonofluoridates in high molecular weight polymeric matrices based upon experimentation with nontoxic simulants. This approach is based on Gee's relation for estimating solubility (equilibrium swelling) from knowledge of the solubility parameters for the polymer and the simulant liquids concerned and on Van Krevelen's relation between diffusivity and activation energy of diffusion. The latter is interpolated from a standard … Show more
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.
