Prediction of Polymer-Liquid Interaction Based on Polymer Phase Diagrams: Bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide Cohesion Parameter Predictions for Over One Hundred Materials

摘要

Chemical-material interactions based on dispersion, polar, and hydrogen bondingforces control the chemical resistance and protection performance of polymeric materials. Interaction predictions of solubility/miscibility have been computed for bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide (HD) with several hundred polymeric materials; the Hansen cohesion system was employed. Only 7% of the polymers were predicted to have potential chemical resistance to HD, and these were compared with the experimental results available. The available results confirmed the computed predictions. About 93% of this set of over 100 polymeric materials were predicted to have significant equilibrium sorption/solubility with HD.
