The upper critical solution temperatures, UCST , of acetone + alkane (n- C5H12 to n-C17H36) and acetone + hexane isomers have been measured. These results are used to calculate an interaction parameter ξ by using the van der Waals one-fluid model together with the Guggenheim equation of state. Values of ξ are compared with those obtained from the gas-liquid critical temperatures. The gas-liquid critical temperatures for the n- alkane + acetone systems were taken from the literature whereas those for the hexane isomers + acetone were measured in this work. The values of ξ calculated from gas-liquid critical temperatures are slightly greater than those calculated from the UCST as has been observed previously for other systems.

Abstract Crosslinked ethylene propylene rubber gels were swollen in five solvents at 25–100° C. The solvent polymer interaction parameter μ for each system was determined as a function of temperature and polymer concentration. A thermodynamic criterion of the sign of the heat of dilution, ΔH1, was pointed out. For three of the systems ΔH1 was negative. The entropy contribution to the interaction parameter was found to be smaller than usual for systems having a temperature-dependent heat of dilution. The heats of dilution and the entropy terms may be consistently interpreted in terms of Prigogine's theory of solutions.
