Fractional cohesive parameter

The solubility parameter can be interpreted as the internal pressure of the solvent (9- 11). 6i is called the Hildebrand parameter by some authors. Other researchers (13) prefer the term, cohesion parameter , since it correlates with a large number of physical and chemical properties, and not just the miscibility of the components. The solubility parameter of a mixture is often taken as the sum of the products of the component solubihty parameters with their volume fractions ... 

Table 6.2 presents data showing the effect of various CMOS on the activity coefficient or mole fraction solubility of naphthalene, for two different solvent/water ratios. To examine the cosolvent effect, Schwarzenbach et al. (2003) compare the Hildebrand solubility parameter (defined as the square root of the ratio of the enthalpy of vaporization and the molar volume of the liquid), which is a measure of the cohesive forces of the molecule in pure solvent. 

In Figure 1 a conparison is made between the volume fraction of inorganic salt in the water solution and the surface tension divided by the Beerbower correction factor, divided by the cube root of the molar volume. Using this data, in addition to the data found in Table I, we are able to make reasonable approximations for the Cohesive Energy Density parameters associated with various concentrations of inorganic salt solutions. 

The cohesion energy parameters for mixtures are usually averaged using the volume fraction times the cohesion energy parameters for the respective solvents present. This approach must be used with caution for surface applications. 

For example, the cohesive energy and molar volume (extensive properties) and solubility parameter (an intensive property) of a random copolymer containing two different types of repeat units with mole fractions of irq and m2 can be estimated by using equations 17.7-17.10 ... 

The cohesion of mixed solvents can be calculated by making use of the sum of the contributions of each component. Those individual contributions are determined by the product of the solubifity parameter of each liquid midtipfied by the mole fraction of that component. The sum of the individual contributions gives the solubility parameter for the solution. 

Kulkarni et al. [83] studied the failure processes occurring at the micro-scale in heterogeneous adhesives using a multi-scale cohesive scheme. They also considered failure effect on the macroscopic cohesive response. Investigating the representative volume element (RVE) size has demonstrated that for the macroscopic response to represent the loading histories, the microscopic domain width needs to be 2 or 3 times the layer thickness. Additionally, they analyzed the effect of particle size, volume fraction and particle-matrix interfacial parameters on the failure response as well as effective... 

This new model is more simple and accurate than the previous one. However, the fitting parameters are interaction parameters as they don t reflect a simple dependence. Parameter Ci multiplies the complex viscosity of the resin, but depends on the oil concentration. This dependence could be due to the influence of the oil-resin fraction, which determines the cohesion of the synthetic binder. Parameter C2 multiplies the complex viscosity of the oil-polymer blend, but depends on the resin-polymer ratio, perhaps due to the interaction between the resin and the vinyl-acetate groups present in the EVA copolymer [20]. And finally, parameter C3 is independent of complex viscosity, but depends on the polymer concentration, probably due to the strong influence of the polymer on the fluidity of the samples, which is clearly present in a rheological test such as the temperature sweep test.
