Phase Behavior of binary and ternary carbon dioxide plus heptadecafluorodecyl methacrylate plus poly(heptadecafluorodecyl methacrylate) systems
Experimental cloud point data for a binary system composed of carbon dioxide (CO2) + poly(heptadecafluorodecyl methacrylate) (poly(HDFDMA)) were obtained using a variable volume view cell with a polymer concentration of up to similar to 9.1 wt %, a temperature between (303 and 363) K, and a pressure of up to 33 MPa. The cloud point and bubble point pressures for a ternary system comprised of CO2 + HDFDMA + poly(HDFDMA) were determined for HDFDMA concentrations of (0, 10.9, 20.3, and 28.6) wt % at temperatures ranging from (303 to 363) K and pressures up to approximately 27 MPa. The results of this evaluation indicated that as the HDFDMA concentration increased the cloud point pressure decreased and that the liquid- liquid-vapor (LLV) transition occurred when the system was comprised of 28.6 wt % HDFDMA.
