Abstract:ABSTRACT:Mixtures of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) were identified as new solvent systems for polysulfone. The miscibility and density of polysulfone in binary fluid mixtures of THF and CO 2 were investigated from 300 to 425 K at pressures up to 70 MPa. The influence of the CO 2 and polysulfone concentrations was studied, with the concentrations of the other two components kept constant. At a 4.5 wt % polymer concentration, the demixing pressures in a 10 wt % CO 2 and 90 wt % THF mixture inc… 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.
