Solvent-polymer compatibility problems are often encountered in industry, such as in the selection of gaskets or hoses for the transportation of solvents. A rough guide exists to aid the selection of solvents for a polymer, or to assess the extent of polymer-liquid interactions. A semi empirical approach has been developed by Hildebrand based on the principle of like dissolves like. The treatment involves relating the enthalpy of mixing to a solubility parameter, S, and its related quantity, 8, called the cohesive energy density.

Hansen and co-workers [47-68] proposed a practical extension of the Hildebrand parameter method to polar and hydrogen-bonding systems, primarily for use in polymer-liquid interactions. It was assumed that dispersion, polar, and hydrogen-bonding parameters were valid simultaneously, related by Eq. (16.6), with the values of each component being determined empirically on the basis of many experimental observations ...
