This handbook provides the only complete collection of high-pressure thermodynamic data
pertaining to polymer solutions at elevated pressures to date. These are critical data for understanding the
physical nature of these mixtures, and are applicable to a number of industrial and laboratory processes
in polymer science, physical chemistry, chemical engineering, and biotechnology. The handbook
contains reliable, easy-to-use entries, references, tables, examples, and appendices that provide users with
a well-organized, quick route to the data they need. It also provides the resources necessary to plan
new measurement studies where data remain missing.
From the Preface: “...In comparison with low-molecular weight systems, the amount of data
for polymer solutions at elevated pressures is still rather small. About 650 literature sources were
perused for the purpose of this Handbook, including some dissertations and diploma papers. About 1600
data sets, i.e., about 400 VLE/gas solubility isotherms, 250 LLE and 800 HPPE data sets, a number
of volumetric and enthalpic data and some second virial coefficients, are reported. Additionally, tables
of systems are provided where results were published only in graphical form in the original literature
to lead the reader to further sources...”
Target Audience: Polymer chemists, chemical engineers, physical chemists, biotechnology and
materials science researchers, and upper-level students in these disciplines.
