High pressure phase behavior for the binary mixture of pentafluoropropyl methacrylate and poly(pentafluoropropyl methacrylate) in supercritical carbon dioxide and dimethyl ether

Abstract

Pressure-composition isotherm is obtained for the carbon dioxide+2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl methacrylate (PFPMA) using static apparatus with a variable volume view cell at temperature range from 40 °C to 120 °C and pressure up to 130 bar. This system exhibits type-I phase behavior with a continuous mixture-critical curve. The experimental result for carbon dioxide+PFPMA mixture was modeled using the Peng-Robinson (P-R) and multi-fluid nonrandom lattice fluid (MF-NLF) equation of state. Experimental cloud-point data of pressure up 470 bar and temperature to 182 °C were reported for the binary mixture of poly(2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl methacrylate) [Poly(PFPMA)] in supercritical carbon dioxide and dimethyl ether (DME). The Poly(PFPMA)+carbon dioxide and Poly(PFPMA)+DME systems showed LCST behavior.
