Abstract

Correlations of solvent solubility parameters with molar attraction constants and with properties like surface tension, dipole moment, and index of refraction have been explored. From relations found to be valid for solvents, it is possible to calculate the solubility parameters for polymers. A relation between the dispersion contribution to the surface energy of polymers (a measurable quantity) and the dispersion solubility parameter of polymers has been found which is similar to a relation established for low molecular weight substances.
