CRC Handbook of Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium Data of Polymer Solutions

Thermodynamic data form the basis for separation processes used in different fields of science and industry, from specialty chemicals to foods and pharmaceuticals. One obstacle to developing new production processes, products, or optimization is the lack, or inaccesibility, of experimental data related to phase equilibrium. TheCRC Handbook of Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium Data of Polymer Solutionsprovides a thorough and up-to-date compilation of experimental liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data and their original sources. The handbook contains more than 1200 data sets, including 810 binary systems, 325 ternary systems, and 25 quaternary (or higher) systems. Arranged in a consistent format, it provides convenient access to cloud-point and coexistence data as well as upper and lower critical solution temperatures and important demixing data for each system. Written by a well-known scientist in the field of polymer solution thermodynamics who is also a respected contributor to theHandbook of Chemistry and Physics, this volume is an excellent companion to the author's substantial compilations of thermodynamic data for binary polymer solutions, copolymer solutions, aqueous polymer solutions, and polymer solutions at elevated temperatures.
