Ym. Mikhailov et al., Mutual diffusion and phase equilibrium in copolymers of nonyl acrylate andacrylic acid-diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A systems, J APPL POLY, 74(10), 1999, pp. 2353-2356
The influence of the composition of statistical copolymers of nonyl acrylat
e with acrylic acid on the rate of mass transfer and phase equilibrium in s
olutions with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A was studied. For these system
s, the data on concentration dependencies of mutual diffusion coefficients
and phase diagrams were obtained. The results were interpreted on the basis
of the assumption about the effect of the effective concentration of nodes
of the network of hydrogen bonds on the mutual diffusion and phase equilib
rium. The dependencies of the mutual diffusion coefficients on the content
of acrylic acid in the copolymers are described in terms of the free volume
theory. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
