Abstract
The demixing behaviour of low molecular weight polystyrene in three n-alkanes (hexane, heptane and octane) has been established. Critical solution behaviour is a function of alkane chain length, and application of free volume theory shows this to be an entropic effect. The quality of n-alkanes, up to twenty carbons in length, as solvents for polystyrene has been estimated.
