PHASE-BEHAVIOR OF TELECHELIC POLYISOBUTYLENE IN SUBCRITICAL AND SUPERCRITICAL FLUIDS .3. 3-ARM-STAR PIB-(4K) AS A MODEL TRIMER FOR MONOHYDROXY AND DIHYDROXY PIB-(1K) IN ETHANE, PROPANE, DIMETHYL ETHER, CARBON-DIOXIDE, AND CHLORODIFLUOROMETHANE
Cj. Gregg et al., PHASE-BEHAVIOR OF TELECHELIC POLYISOBUTYLENE IN SUBCRITICAL AND SUPERCRITICAL FLUIDS .3. 3-ARM-STAR PIB-(4K) AS A MODEL TRIMER FOR MONOHYDROXY AND DIHYDROXY PIB-(1K) IN ETHANE, PROPANE, DIMETHYL ETHER, CARBON-DIOXIDE, AND CHLORODIFLUOROMETHANE, Journal of physical chemistry, 98(41), 1994, pp. 10634-10639
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).
