Handbook Of Polymer Solution Thermodynamics

Created for engineers and students working with pure polymers and polymer solutions, this handbook provides up-to-date, easy to use methods to obtain specific volumes and phase equilibrium data. A comprehensive database for the phase equilibria of a wide range of polymer-solvent systems, and PVT behavior of pure polymers are given, as are accurate predictive techniques using group contributions and readily available pure component data. Two computer programs on diskettes are included. POLYPROG implements procedures given for prediction and correlation for specific volume of pure polymer liquids and calculation of vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) of polymer solutions. POLYDATA provides an easy method of accessing the data contained in the many databases in the book. Both disks require a computer with a math coprocessor. This handbook is a valuable resource in the design and operation of many polymer processes, such as polymerization, devolatilization, drying, extrusion, and heat exchange.

This handbook provides the only complete collection of high-pressure thermodynamic data that is essential for understanding polymer solutions. It contains data on vapor-liquid equilibria and gas solubilities, liquid-liquid equilibria, high-pressure fluid phase equilibria for polymer systems in supercritical fluids, enthalpic and volumetric data, as well as second virial coefficients all at elevated pressures. It covers all areas needed by researchers and engineers who handle polymer systems in supercritical fluids; materials science and technological applications such as computerized predictive packages; and chemical and biochemical processes, such as synthesis and characterization, fractionation, separation, purification, and finishing of polymers and related materials.

The CRC Handbook of Enthalpy Data of Polymer-Solvent Systems presents data that is as essential to the production, process design, and use of polymers as it is to understanding the physical behavior and intermolecular interactions in polymer solutions and in developing thermodynamic polymer models. Providing an all-encompassing collection

Providing valuable insight on physical behavior of polymer solutions, intermolecular interactions, and the molecular nature of mixtures, each volume in this one-of-a-kind handbook brings together reliable, easy-to-use entries, references, tables, examples, and appendices on experimental data from hundreds of primary journal articles, dissertations, and other published papers. This three-volume set presents hundreds of data sets including VLE/gas solubility isotherms, LLE and HPPE for polymer systems in supercritical fluids, as well as volumetric, enthalpic, and virial coefficient data sets, essential for handling industrial and laboratory processes involving all types of polymer systems. _a href="http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9780849332463"CRC Handbook of Thermodynamic Data of Polymer Solutions at Elevated Pressuresa href="http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9780849321740"CRC Handbook of Thermodynamic Data of Aqueous Polymer Solutionsa href=" http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9780849310744" CRC Handbook of Thermodynamic Data of Copolymer Solutions.

A large amount of experimental data has been published since the debut of the original CRC Handbook of Thermodynamic Data of Aqueous Polymer Solutions. Incorporating new and updated material, the CRC Handbook of Phase Equilibria and Thermodynamic Data of Aqueous Polymer Solutions provides a comprehensive collection of thermodynamic data of polymer

Thermodynamics is an indispensable tool for developing a large and growing fraction of new polymers and polymer blends. These two volumes show the researcher how thermodynamics can be used to rank polymer pairs in order of immiscibility, including the search for suitable chemical structure of compatibilizers. Because of the great current commercial interest in this most dynamic sector of the polymer industry, there is high interest in studying their physical and mechanical properties, their structures, and the processes of their formation and manufacture. These Books are dedicated to Analysis of the Thermodynamics of Polymer Blends. Thermodynamic behavior of blends determines the compatibility of the components, their morphological features, rheological behavior, and microphase structures. As a result, the most important physical and mechanical characteristics of blends can be identified. The information in these two volumes will be useful to all those involved in polymer research, development, analysis and advanced process engineering.

There is a continuing interest in thermodynamic properties of polymer solutions at elevated pressures. This updated book provides newly published experimental data from the last decade. It includes nearly 500 newly published references containing approximately 175 new vapor-liquid equilibrium data sets, 25 new liquid-liquid equilibrium data sets, 540 new high-pressure fluid phase equilibrium data sets, 60 new data sets describing PVT properties of polymers, and 20 new data sets with densities or excess volumes.
