Description
Summary:A general equation has been used to describe solubility properties, SP, of a wide range of gaseous solutes in polymers. Solubilities may then be discussed in terms of the various solute--solvent interactions that are reflected by the coefficients of the various terms. These are cavity effects and dispersion forces (l), dipole--dipole and dipole--induced-dipole interactions (s), and hydrogen-bonding between solute acid and polymer base (a) or between solute base and polymer acid (b). For non-dipolar solutes in all non-aqueous solvent phases, and for weakly dipolar phases, the general equation reduces to a more specific equation that induces only the term due to cavity effects and dispersion forces. 29 ref.--AA
