Solvent activities were measured using a gravimetric method in the ran
ge 48-70 degrees C. The polymers were: 15-arm, 20-arm star and linear
poly(ethylene oxide), and 8-arm star and linear polystyrene. The solve
nts were acetone, chloroform and cyclohexane. In the concentrated regi
me, to 0.5 solvent weight fraction, there is no significant effect of
polymer structure on solvent activities. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd
