چکیده
For concentrated polymer solutions, the free energy of mixing can be described through a “regular solution” model, such as that set forth by Flory, for a mixture of nc polymers and ns solvent molecules. To understand how the model breaks down for lower concentrations, it will be helpful to review its essential features. It is convenient to derive such a model using a lattice construct, though the results of the model can also be arrived at independent of a lattice.

Polymer Solution Thermodynamics:
Up to this point we have considered polymer chains in solvent at various concentrations. In dilute solution, we observed that the segmental density is localized around the center of mass of the coils; the local concentration gradient experienced by each chain drives the swelling of the coils. By contrast, in polymer melts, this swelling force is exactly cancelled by analogous forces exerted by ...
متن کاملRole of Free Volume in Polymer Solution Thermodynamics
The principal effects determining the value of the free energy of mixing of polymer solutions are discussed and compared, namely the combinatorial, energetic and structural effects. The influence of the last on the thermodynamic behaviour of polymer solutions is then dealt with, as revealed in the lower critical solution temperature. and in the effect of pressure on polymer—solvent compatibilit...

We present the complete (nonlinear) solution for the response of a system of l1vlng polymers to an arbitrary thermodynamic perturbation of its equilibrium polymer size distribution. Our results are relevant for the interpretation of T-jump experiments on wormhke mlcelles m the
متن کاملThermodynamics of Polymer Solutions
Most of the synthetic compounds are prepared and processed in the liquid state, i.e. in solution or in the molten state. Detailed knowledge on this state is therefore indispensable. In particular it is essential to know the limits of complete miscibility with a low molecular weight solvent as a function of temperature, pressure and composition. Furthermore it is often mandatory to be acquainted...
