Dear all would you please tell me how can I determine the solubility of a polymer in a given solution (the maximum amount of the polymer material that could be dissolved in the solvent). For example PMMA in Aceton?
Dear Dr. Hussein Alhaj Mawas,
I suggest you to have a look at the following interesting paper:
-A review of polymer dissolution
Beth A. Miller-Chou, Jack L. Koenig
Prog. Polym. Sci., 28, 1223–1270(2003)
Available at: http://wwwcourses.sens.buffalo.edu/ce435/Koenig03.pdf
…. and if you prefer follow a regulation you can consult this standard ASTM D 3132 – 84 (Solubility Range of Resins and Polymers1).
Good job and best regards. Pierluigi Traverso
Dear all, the classical simplest way is via the intrinsic viscosity method. The following link contains some references. My Regards
