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. 

Dispersion polymerizations of methyl methacrylate ntUizing poly(l,l,-dihydroper-fluorooctyl acrylate) as a steric stabilizer in snpercritical CO2 were carried out in the presence of helium. Particle size and particle size distribution were found to be dependent on the amonnt of inert helium present. Particle sizes ranging from 1.64 to 2.66 pm were obtained with varions amounts of helium. Solvatochromic investigations using 9-(a-perflnoroheptyl-p,p-dicyanovinyl)julolidine indicated that the solvent strength of CO2 decreases with increasing helium concentration. This effect was confirmed by calcnlations of Hildebrand solubility parameters (Hsiao and DeSimone, 1997). 

In an influential early investigation, correlation of biocatalytic activity data of aerobic and anaerobic whole-cell biocatalysis with solvent properties resulted in the strongest correlation for the partition coefficient log P, whereas both Hildebrand s solubility parameter 6 and the dielectric constant e showed either a weak correlation with activity data or none at all (Laane, 1985,1987) (Figure 12.2). 

Furthermore, Hildebrand and Scott [32] found a relationship between the solubility parameter, 5, and surface tension, as, for polar and non-polar liquids. Their relationship can be written as [66]...

Table 3 lists the Hildebrand solubility parameter 8, the total solubility parameter do, and the multicomponent parameters for dispersion dj, polar dp, and hydrogen bonding d/, forces for a number of solvents. These data are taken from the compilation by Barton (1975). He has pointed out that the data become empirical when multicomponent parameters are used, and thus it is important to use a set of data that are self-consistent. Keller et al. (1971) and Karger et al. (1976) have further subdivided the hydrogen bonding parameter into the acid or proton donor ( ) parameter, and the base or proton acceptor (6/,) parameter. Values for these are listed for some of the compounds in Table 3 from data provided by Snyder (1978). These data are not from the same source as those compiled by Barton (1975) and included in Table 3, and hence the values given for d/, should not be compared directly with those for 8 and 8. ... 

Several parameters are suitable as measures of polarity the dielectric constant the Hildebrand solubility parameter 8 and its extension, the three-component (or three-dimensional) Hansen solubility parameters, which cannot be discussed here. However, the most practical value and significance has gained Poctanoi because it is the most easily accessible parameter, and many useful correlations for its utilization in a number of relationships have been worked out in the past decades. 

The total solubility parameter, 5, corresponds to the overall Hildebrand solubility parameter, and the Hansen solubility parameters, 5p, and h, are contributions from non-polar interaction, polar interaction, and hydrogen bonding, respectively [15]. The end point of the radius vector represents the solubility parameter. This means that each solvent and each polymer can be located in a three-dimensional space. 

A further resource is Ref. 3, Appendix 2, Table A 2—2, in which more than 800 binary homogeneous azeotropes are listed. For each azeotrope the following information is supplied the type of homogeneous azeotrope (boiling point suppression, elevation, or neither) its weight composition, boiling point, calculated density, calculated HSP values notation of an absence of measured flash point and some literature or patent references. The table is sorted by total solubility parameter (Hildebrand). 

It is very important in practice to know what solvents will dissolve a particular polymer. It is often found that certain polymers will become swollen when they are in contact with particular liquids. Also many polymers craze (see Section 5.6.7) when they are subjected to certain liquids. It is possible to go some way towards explaining these phenomena by using a semi-empirical approach which was first suggested by Hildebrand. The main principle that is used is that polymers dissolve in chemically similar solvents and the two parameters that are used are the cohesive energy density C and solubility parameter 8 and these have characteristic values for each polymer and solvent. The cohesive energy density is defined for a liquid by... 

Solubility Parameter. CompatibiHty between hydrocarbon resins and other components in an appHcation can be estimated by the Hildebrand solubiHty parameter (2). In order for materials to be mutually soluble, the free energy of mixing must be negative (3). The solubiHty of a hydrocarbon resin with other polymers or components in a system can be approximated by the similarities in the solubiHty parameters of the resin and the other materials. Tme solubiHty parameters are only available for simple compounds and solvents. However, parameters for more complex materials can be approximated by relative solubiHty comparisons with substances of known solubiHty parameter. 

Regular solutions, the solubility parameter and Scatchard-Hildebrand theory... 

Numerous reports of comparable levels of success in correlating adhesion performance with the Scatchard-Hildebrand solubility parameters can be found in the literature [116,120-127], but failures of this approach have also been documented [128-132J. Particularly revealing are cases in which failure was attributed to the inability of the Scatchard-Hildebrand solubility parameter to adequately account for donor-acceptor (acid-base) interactions [130,132]. Useful reviews of the use of solubility parameters for choosing block copolymer compatibilizers have been prepared by Ohm [133] and by Gaylord [134]. General reviews of the use of solubility parameters in polymer science have been given by Barton [135], Van Krevelen [114], and Hansen [136]. 

Plasticizers reduce hardness, enhance tack and reduce cost in rubber base adhesive formulations. A plasticizer must be easily miscible and highly compatible with other ingredients in the formulations and with the surfaces to which the adhesive is applied. The compatibility and miscibility of plasticizers can be estimated from the solubility parameter values. Most of plasticizers have solubility parameters ranging between 8.5 and 10.5 hildebrands. However, the high miscibility and compatibility also lead to easier diffusion of the plasticizer to the surface, decreasing the adhesion properties. Therefore, plasticizers should be carefully selected and generally combinations of two or more of them are used. 

We encountered the quantity AE ap/V in Eq. (8-35) it is the cohesive energy density. The square root of this quantity plays an important role in regular solution theory, and Hildebrand named it the solubility parameter, 8.

Various models of SFE have been published, which aim at understanding the kinetics of the processes. For many dynamic extractions of compounds from solid matrices, e.g. for additives in polymers, the analytes are present in small amounts in the matrix and during extraction their concentration in the SCF is well below the solubility limit. The rate of extraction is then not determined principally by solubility, but by the rate of mass transfer out of the matrix. Supercritical gas extraction usually falls very clearly into the class of purely diffusional operations. Gere et al. [285] have reported the physico-chemical principles that are the foundation of theory and practice of SCF analytical techniques. The authors stress in particular the use of intrinsic solubility parameters (such as the Hildebrand solubility parameter 5), in relation to the solubility of analytes in SCFs and optimisation of SFE conditions.
