Polymer Thermodynamics: Blends, Copolymers and Reversible
Polymerization describes the thermodynamic basis for miscibility as
well as the mathematical models used to predict the compositional
window of miscibility and construct temperature versus
volume-fraction phase diagrams. The book covers the binary
interaction model, the solubility parameter approach, and the
entropic difference model. Using equation of state (EOS) theories,
thermodynamic models, and information from physical properties, it
illustrates the construction of phase envelopes. The book presents
nine EOS theories, including some that take into account molecular
weight effects. Characteristic values are given in tables. It uses
the binary interaction model to predict the compositional window of
miscibility for copolymer/homopolymer blends and blends of
copolymers and terpolymers with common monomers. It discusses
Hansen fractional solubility parameter values, six phase diagram
types, the role of polymer architecture in phase behavior, and the
mathematical framework for multiple glass transition temperatures
found in partially miscible polymer blends. The author also
illustrates biomedical and commercial applications of
nanocomposites, the properties of various polymer alloys, Fick's
laws of diffusion and their implications during transient events,
and the use of the dynamic programming method in the sequence
alignment of DNA and proteins. The final chapter reviews the
thermodynamics of reversible polymerization and copolymerization.
Polymer blends offer improved performance/cost ratios and the
flexibility to tailor products to suit customers' needs. Exploring
physical phenomena, such as phase separation, this book provides
readers with methods to design polymer blends and predict the phase
behavior of binary polymer blends using desktop computers.
