A perturbation correction of the Flory-Huggins polymer solution theory
A perturbation theory modification of the Flory-Huggins polymer solution theory is presented. The proposed perturbation equation utilizes the results by Tukur et al [J. Chem. Phys. 110 (7), 3463, 1999] for hard-sphere binary mixture at infinite size ratio. The resulting perturbation theory equati...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | A perturbation theory modification of the Flory-Huggins polymer solution
theory is presented. The proposed perturbation equation utilizes the results
by Tukur et al [J. Chem. Phys. 110 (7), 3463, 1999] for hard-sphere
binary mixture at infinite size ratio. The resulting perturbation theory equations
are used to predict properties of three different polymers with different
molecular weights in different solvents. Comparison of the proposed
perturbation calculations with those of the Flory-Huggins theory and the
experimental data indicate that the proposed perturbation method appreciably
improves the prediction of polymer solution properties especially at
large polymer/solvent size ratios |
