Representation of Binodal Curves for Aqueous Polymer-Solutions Using a New Local Composition Model
A new local composition model is used to reproduce the phase separation phenomena of aqueous polymer solutions. The energy parameters can be expressed by a quadratic function of temperature. Solutions of polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol in water are studied. The phase equilibria of these binary solutions are represented with sufficient accuracy.
