Flory-Huggins solution theory The result obtained by Flory[1] and Huggins[2] is[1][2] The right-hand side is a function of the number of moles n1 and volume fraction φ1 of solvent (component 1 or a), the number of moles n2 and volume fraction φ2 of polymer (component 2 or b), with the introduction of a parameter chi, χ, to take account of the energy of interdispersing polymer and solvent molecules.functionmolessolventcomponentchi energy Molar volume of polymer segment δ are Hildebrand solubility parameters, δ=√((ΔH vap -RT)/V molar ) δ=√(δ d 2 + δ p 2 + δ h 2 ), linkage to Hansen Solubility parameters

Hansen Solubility Parameter Hansen Solubility Parameters were developed by Charles Hansen as a way of predicting if one material will dissolve in another and form a solution [1]. They are based on the idea that like dissolves like where one molecule is defined as being 'like' another if it bonds to itself in a similar way.Charles Hansendissolvesolution[1] Specifically, each molecule is given three Hansen parameters, each generally measured in : The energy from dispersion bonds between moleculesdispersion bonds The energy from polar bonds between moleculespolar bonds The energy from hydrogen bonds between moleculeshydrogen bonds These three parameters can be treated as co-ordinates for a point in three dimensions also known as the Hansen space. The nearer two molecules are in this three dimensional space, the more likely they are to dissolve into each other. To determine if the parameters of two molecules (usually a solvent and a polymer) are within range a value called interaction radius (R0) is given to the substance being dissolved. This value determines the radius of the sphere in Hansen space and it's center is the three Hansen parameters. To calculate the distance (Ra) between Hansen parameters in Hansen space the following formula is used: Combining this with the interaction radius gives the relative energy difference (RED) of the system: RED < 1 the molecules are alike and will dissolve RED = 1 the system will partially dissolve RED > 1 the system will not dissolve See Articles Solvents_Data.pdf
