Abstract
The cloud-point pressures for a three-arm-star polyisobutylene (4K) in ethane, propane, dimethyl ether, carbon dioxide, and chlorodifluorome thane were measured in a variable volume optical cell up to 200 degree s C and 2000 bar. These pressures, presented as LCST and U-LCST curves , are found to depend strongly on the size difference and polarity dif ference between solvent and polymer. The cloud points measured in this work confirm the aggregate size estimated from the statistical associ ating fluid theory (SAFT) for CH3-PIB-OH (1K) and HO-PIB-OH (1K).
