Charles M. Hansen began his work with solvents in 1962, and almost immediately began
producing new and groundbreaking results. Since then his Hansen solubility (or cohesion) parameters have
been extensively used and proven valuable to a variety of industries. Hansen's approach
quantitatively describes hydrogen bonding and polar bonding in many types of systems — it allows correlations
and systematic comparisons previously not possible, such as polymer solubility, swelling,
permeation, surface wetting and dewetting, solubility of organic salts, and many biological applications.
This revised and updated edition of Hansen Solubility Parameters: A User's
Handbook includes new chapters on absorption and diffusion in polymers, and environmental stress cracking, as well as
presenting new information on treating biological materials, with an emphasis on recent findings
on interactions with DNA. There is also new information on using statistical thermodynamics to
confirm the division of cohesive energy into three parts, how HSP fits into other theories of polymer
solutions, thermodynamic treatment of carbon dioxide, and much more. Highly recommended.
From the Preface: “...The first phase of film formation by solvent evaporation is controlled by
surface phenomena such as solvent vapor pressure, wind velocity, heat transfer, etc., and the second phase
is controlled by concentration-dependent diffusion of solvent molecules from within the film to the
air surface. It is not controlled by the binding of solvent molecules to polymer molecules by
hydrogen bonding as was previously thought...”
Target Audience: Chemists, chemical engineers, technicians, formulators, biochemists, and
upper-level students in these disciplines.
