Abstract

Group contribution lattice fluid equation of state (GCLF-EOS) have been extended and used to calculate phase equilibria in polymer solutions. Group parameters for three group contributions and nine new group contributions have been calculated. Saturation vapor pressure for pure solvent and weight fraction activity coefficients in polymer solutions have been calculated and the agreement obtained with experimental data indicated the accuracy of the parameters. A combining rule consisting a pair interaction parameter with temperature dependency was proposed. The area method was used with GCLF-EOS to obtain phase diagram for liquid equilibrium (LLE) of polymer solutions. The method was able to predict both lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and upper critical solution temperature (UCST).
