This parameter is often used for characterizing polymer solutions.
This tends to increase the free energy of mixing for polymer solutions and thus make solvation less favorable.
It is also a common property of polymer solutions and molten polymers.
Generally, a variation from 0.5 to -1.0 can be observed although for many synthetic polymer solutions the range is 0.6 to 0.3.
The study of polymer solutions is where physics and chemistry merge.
Overall this book is a well produced scholarly account of the physics of polymer solutions.
The phase behavior of polymer solutions is an important property involved in the development and design of most polymer-related processes.
PolyOne offers more than 52,000 polymer solutions to over 14,000 customers across the globe.
In this cell, the polymer solution is forced through a metal plate called a spinneret.
It can also be used to probe the behavior of complex fluids such as concentrated polymer solutions.
