Temperature and composition dependence of the density and viscosity of binary mixtures of (hyperbranched polymer, B-U3000+1-alcohol, or ether)
Density and viscosity were determined for binary mixtures of {hyperbranched polymer, a fatty acid modified dendritic polymer Boltorn U3000 (B-U3000) + 1-alcohol (1-butanol, 1-hexanol, and 1-octanol)} at T = (298.15, 308.15, 318.15. 328.15, and 338.15) K and of {B-U3000 + tert-butyl-methylether (MTBE)} at T = (298.15, 308.15, and 318.15) K and ambient pressure. The temperature dependence of density and viscosity for these systems can be described by linear regression and by the Vogel-Fucher-Tammann equation, respectively. Excess volumes were discussed in a function of mass fractions. Viscosity deviations were calculated and correlated by the Redlich-Kister polynomial expansions using also the mass fractions. The polynomial correlations describe the variation of viscosity with composition. A qualitative discussion on these quantities in terms of molecular interactions is reported. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
