CRC Handbook of Thermodynamic Data of Aqueous Polymer Solutions

by Christian Wohlfarth

Overview

Knowledge of thermodynamic data of aqueous polymer solutions is a necessity for industrial and laboratory processes. Such data serve as essential tools for understanding the physical behavior of polymer solutions, for studying intermolecular interactions, and for gaining insights into the molecular nature of mixtures. They also provide the necessary basis for development of theoretical thermodynamic models. The CRC Handbook of Thermodynamic Data of Aqueous Polymer Solutions provides a new and complete collection of the practical thermodynamic data required by researchers and engineers in basic and applied chemistry, chemical engineering, computational modeling, and thermodynamic research. It answers the need for thermodynamic data precipitated by the increasing commercial interest in aqueous polymer solutions and their unique physical properties. Included in this handbook are low- and high-pressure equilibrium data, vapor-liquid and liquid-liquid equilibria, enthalpic and volumetric data, as well as second virial coefficients. In addition, it contains data needed for optimizing applications such as separations of complex mixtures of biomolecules, and the precipitation and purification of proteins in aqueous two-phase systems. With specific applications in the fields of biotechnology, membrane science, food chemistry, and environmental chemistry, this volume will prove to be an essential reference for scientists and engineers in academic and industrial research.
