Solubility of hyperbranched polymer, Boltorn W-3000, in alcohols, ethers and hydrocarbons
(Solid/liquid + liquid) phase diagrams at ambient pressure have been determined for the hyperbranched polymer, Boltorn W3000 with alcohols (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-hexanol, 1-decanol), or with ethers (tert-butyl methyl ether, tert-butyl ethyl ether), or with hydrocarbons (n-hexane, n-heptane, benzene, toluene) by a dynamic method from T = 240 K to the boiling temperature of the solvent (Solid + liquid) phase equilibria with immiscibility in the liquid phase were detected for B-W3000 with the alcohols and aliphatic hydrocarbons. The upper critical solution temperatures, UCSTs, were measured for (B-W3000 + 1-hexanol and 1-decanol) systems The experimental results of (solid + liquid) phase equilibria have been correlated using NRTL equation (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
