Cl. Zhong et al., APPLICATION OF THE SIMPLIFIED HOLE THEORY EQUATION OF STATE TO POLYMER-SOLUTIONS AND BLENDS, Fluid phase equilibria, 102(2), 1994, pp. 173-179
The simplified hole theory equation of state has been extended to poly
mer-solvent and polymer-polymer systems for the calculation of the P-V
-T relations for five binary systems with good accuracy. Moreover, to
test the equations proposed, the spinodal curves for two polymer-solve
nt systems have been estimated. Comparisons have been made between the
calculated results of this work and the estimations from the well-rec
ognized Simha and Somcynsky equation of state, which shows that the eq
uations proposed are of the same quality as the latter, but much simpl
er in computation.
