Thermodynamic Study of Poly(ethylene glycol) in Water/1-Propanol Solutions by Viscometry

In this work, the intrinsic viscosities of poly(ethylene glycol) with a molar mass of 20 kg⋅mol⁻¹ were measured in water/1-propanol solutions from 283.1 to 313.1 K. The expansion factors of the polymer chains were calculated from the intrinsic viscosity data. The thermodynamic parameters entropy of dilution parameter, the heat of dilution parameter, theta temperature, polymer–solvent interaction parameter and second osmotic virial coefficient were derived from the temperature dependence of the polymer chain expansion factor. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that mixtures of water/1-propanol become weaker solvents for poly(ethylene glycol) with increasing temperature. Also, the thermodynamic parameters indicate that the solvent ability of mixed water/1-propanol for poly(ethylene glycol) is less than that of pure water.     

Some selected problems of nonaqueous microemulsions — phase diagrams and variation of the composition in the quaternary and ternary systems

A variety of quaternary and ternary systems of the type of dodecane/aliphatic alcohols/Na-dodecyl sulphate/water or a water-replacing component (formamide, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, propylene carbonate, dimethylsulfoxide, acetonitrile) were subjected to a comparative analysis of microemulsification. The compositions of the systems of the type of oil/surfactant/cosurfactant/water or nonaqueous liquid were changed with respect to surfactant (Na-dodecyl sulfate and triton X 114) concentration, cosurfactant (homologous aliphatic alcohols) concentration and mixing ratio of water and water-replacing component. The appertaining phase diagrams were plotted and compared with those of aqueous systems.The experimental results suggest that the phase regions, which are designated as nonaqueous microemulsions, probably represent, not only microemulsions in the usual sense, but a separate kind of mixed phase whose microstructure is examined by special studies. Analogously to aqueous microemulsion systems, transparency and spontaneous formation of homogeneous multicomponent systems cannot serve as the sole criteria for waterless microemulsion formation. But they are important guiding properties of microemulsion formation in multicomponent systems.The variety of components involved in the chemical composition and the current insufficient knowledge do not permit to generally decide whether nonaqueous systems can be assigned to microemulsions or to molecular solutions. For clarifying this problem a detailed examination of the miscibility behavior, especially that of binary systems as a function of temperature, and the role that surfactant and cosurfactant play in the formation of homogeneous systems will be necessary.     

HOMOPOLYMERIZATION AND COPOLYMERIZATION OF VINYL ACETATE IN NON-IONIC ICROEMULSIONS. I. A STUDY OF HOMOGENEITY DOMAINS

Abstract

The homogeneity ranges of the systems consisting of the monomer (vinyl acetate or vinyl acetate + di-2-ethyl hexil maleate), cosurfactant (ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol), surfactant (nonylphenol ethoxylate with 25 moles of ethylene oxide) and water were studied. Addition of the more hydrophobic comonomer requires utilization of a more hydrophobic cosurfactant. The increase of surfactant concentration entails the widening of the homogeneity range. The effect of the cosurfactants mentioned is accounted for by the modification of the cluster structure of water. Therefore the refractive indexes and the signals of protons in NMR spectra vary non-linearly with the composition of homogeneous systems. DSC analysis of the systems obtained has come out with two crystallization temperatures of water undercooled to ?60°C in systems of concentrations close to those of organic and aqueous phases. The results plead for the existence of a structure which differs from that of the ideal solutions of the systems studied.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Excess Partial Molar Volumes of Triethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether–n-Alcohol Mixtures at 25°C

The excess molar volumes V ^E have been measured for binary mixtures of triethylene glycol monomethyl ether with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-pentanol, and 1-hexanol as a function of composition using a continuous–dilution dilatometer at 25°C at atmosphere pressure. V ^E are negative over the entire range of composition for the systems triethylene glycol monomethyl ether + methanol, + ethanol, and + 1-propanol, and positive for the remaining systems, containing 1-pentanol and + 1-hexanol. V ^E increases in a positive direction with increasing carbon chain length of the n-alcohol. The excess partial molar volumes V _i ^E of the components were evaluated from the V ^E results. The behavior of V ^E and V _i ^E with composition and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule is discussed.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Excess Partial Molar Volumes of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether–n-Alcohol Mixtures at 25°C

We have measured excess molar volumes V^E _m of binary mixtures of triethylene glycol monoethyl ether with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-pentanol, and 1-hexanol over the full range of compositions at 25°C. The measurements were carried out with a continuous-dilution dilatometer. The excess molar volumes V^E _m are negative over the entire range of composition for the systems triethylene glycol monoethyl ether + methanol, + ethanol, and + 1-propanol and positive for the remaining systems, triethylene glycol monoethyl ether + 1-pentanol, and + 1-hexanol. The excess V^E _m increases in the positive direction with increasing chain length of the n-alcohol. The measured excess volumes have been compared to our previous published data with an effort to assess the effects of replacing methyl by ethyl groups and of inserting oxyethylene groups. The results have been used to estimate the excess partial molar volumes V^E _m,i of the components. The behavior of V^E _m and V^E _m,i with composition and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule is discussed.     

The bulk properties of dioxane solutions in ethylene glycol at 25–75°C

The densities of ethylene glycol solutions of dioxane were measured at 0–20 mol % dioxane at five temperatures ranging from 25 to 75°C. The apparent molar volumes of dioxane in the solutions were studied. The results were compared with similar characteristics of the aqueous solutions of dioxane and ethylene glycol solutions of tetrahydrofuran. In contrast to these systems, the ethylene glycol-dioxane system did not show a minimum of the apparent molar volumes of dissolved nonelectrolytes. The conclusion was drawn that the solvophobic effects were absent in the bulk properties of the ethylene glycol solutions of dioxane because of the low lability of the spatial net of H-bonds of ethylene glycol and peculiarities of the molecular structure of dioxane.     

Equilibrium Phase Behavior of Ethylene Glycol/Glycerin＋RbNO3/CsNO3＋H2O at 288.15 and 298.15 K

The solubilities, densities and refractive indices for the four ternary systems ethylene glycol/glycerin＋ RbNOJCsNO3＋H20 were measured with mass fractions of ethylene glycol or glycerin in a range of 0 to 1.0 at 288.15 and 298.15 K. In all the cases, the presence of either ethylene glycol or glycerin significantly reduces the solubilities of the rubidium nitrate and cesium nitrate in aqueous solution, but the refractive indices increase with the increase of mass fraction of either ethylene glycol or glycerin. The density, refractive index and solubility of the saturated ternary systems were correlated with each other via polynomial equations. In addition, the refractive indices and densities of unsaturated solutions were also determined for the four ternary systems with different salt concentrations, which were correlated with the salt concentration and proportion of ethylene glycol or glycerin in the solution.     

Apparent molar volume, isentropic compressibility and conductivity of di-sodium hydrogen phosphate in water and in aqueous solutions of 1-propanol

Precise measurements on the density and sound velocity of solutions of di-sodium hydrogen phosphate in 1-propanol + water mixed-solvent media with alcohol mass fractions of 0.00, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 are reported in the 283.15–303.15 K temperature range at 5 K intervals. Electrical conductivity and refractive index of the solutions are studied at 298.15 K. From the experimental density and sound velocity data, the apparent molar volume and isentropic compressibility values of di-sodium hydrogen phosphate have been evaluated. The results show a positive transfer volume of di-sodium hydrogen phosphate from an aqueous 1-propanol solution to a more concentrated 1-propanol solution. The apparent molar isentropic compression of di-sodium hydrogen phosphate in aqueous 1-propanol solutions is negative and it increases with increasing the concentration of 1-propanol and temperature. The negative values of apparent molar isentropic compression imply that the water molecules around the di-sodium hydrogen phosphate are less compressible than the water molecules in the bulk solutions. The effects of the electrolyte concentration and relative permittivity of the medium on the molar conductivity were also investigated.     

Solubilities,densities and refractive indices for the ternary systems ethylene glycol + MCl + H2O (M = Na,K, Rb,Cs) at (15 and 35) °C

The solubilities, densities and refractive indices data for the four ternary systems ethylene glycol + MCl + H₂O (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs) at different temperatures were measured, with mass fractions of ethylene glycol in the range of 0 to 1.0. In all cases, the presence of ethylene glycol significantly reduces the solubility of the salts in aqueous solution. The experimental data of density, refractive index and solubility of saturated solutions for these systems were correlated using polynomial equations as a function of the mass fraction of ethylene glycol. On the other hand, the refractive index and density of unsaturated solutions was also determined for the four ternary systems with varied unsaturated salt concentrations. Values for both the properties were correlated with the salt concentrations and proportions of ethylene glycol in the solutions.     

On the Determination of Partial Molar Volumes,Partial Molar Refractions,Mean Electronic Polarizabilities and Effective Molecular Radii from Dilute Multi-component Data alone using Response Surface Models

A quaternary system consisting of three solutes, namely ethanol, diethylene glycol (DEG) and triethylene glycol (TEG) in benzene at 298.15 K and 1.0125 × 10⁵ Pa was studied. An experimental design in the range of concentration 0.006 < x _solute−i < 0.023 was explored, optimizing the metric distance among the solutes to avoid clustering. On-line simultaneous experimental measurements using a densitometer and a refractometer were utilized to measure bulk solution density and bulk refractive index, respectively. Response surface models describing the total molar volume and total molar refraction were employed to determine the partial molar volumes and the partial molar refractions of each solute from the dilute multi-component data alone. Neither densities nor refractive indices of any of the pure components were used and no binary information was required for the analysis. Definitions for the mean electronic polarizability and the effective molecular radius of a solute based on the partial molar refraction were introduced. Subsequently, the mean electronic polarizabilities and the effective molecular radii for each solute in multi-component solutions, as well as the solvent were determined. The results obtained for the partial molar volumes, partial molar refractions, electronic polarizabilities and the effective molecular radii were in good agreement with those obtained from independent binary experiments as well as those from literature binary data.     

Molar volumes of aqueous and ethylene glycol solutions of tetrahydrofuran

The densities of ethylene glycol solutions of tetrahydrofuran (THF) with 0–20 mol % THF were measured at 20–60°C and atmospheric pressure to an accuracy of 5 × 10⁻⁵ g/cm³. The apparent molar volumes of THF in the solutions were calculated and their concentration and temperature dependences determined. The results were compared with the apparent molar volumes of THF in aqueous systems calculated from the literature data. Minima were found on the concentration dependence of the apparent volume of THF for both aqueous and ethylene glycol solutions and changed differently as the temperature increased. The data obtained were discussed from the standpoint of solvophobic effects in aqueous and ethylene glycol solutions of THF.     

Equilibrium study of polymer–polymer complexation of poly(methacrylic acid) and poly(acrylic acid) with complementary polymers through cooperative hydrogen bonding

The degree of linkage, θ, defined as the ratio of the binding groups to the total of potentially interacting groups and the stability constant K of the polymer–polymer complexes in the systems poly(methacrylic acid)–poly(ethylene glycol), poly(acrylic acid)–poly(ethylene glycol), and poly-(methacrylic acid)–poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) in aqueous and aqueous alcohol media were determined as a function of temperature by potentiometric titration. It was found that θ and K are strongly dependent on chain length, temperature, and medium and that hydrophobic interaction is a significant factor in the stabilization of the complexes. The enthalpy and entropy changes and the cooperativeness parameter of the systems were calculated. A mechanism for the complexation in terms of cooperative interaction was proposed.     

Rheological Properties of Hydrophobically Modified Poly(acrylic acid) in Mixed Solutions

Hydrophobically modified poly(acrylic acid) (HMPA) with single-tailed pendant side groups was prepared by precipitation polymerization. The effects of polymer concentration, surfactant and co-solvent on the solution properties of HMPA were investigated. HMPA solutions showed good viscosity enhancement and typical shear thinning behavior with increasing concentration. The surfactant TX-10 and co-solvent ethylene glycol gave rise to factors that changed the hydrophobic interactions and in turn the rheology behavior of the solutions. The transient associative network of HMPA in ethylene glycol + water mixed solutions was retained as the temperature was decreased to below 0 °C.     

Thermochemical Study of Ethylene Glycol Mixtures with N,N-Disubstituted Amides of Carboxylic Acids

The enthalpies of mixing of N'N-disubstituted amides of formic, acetic acids with ethyleneglycol were considered in view of the data on the enthalpies of mixing of the same compounds with form-amide and water. The exothermicity of amide-ethylene glycol interactions results from the formation of heterocomponent H bonds stronger than the H bonds in ethylene glycol. Solvophilic solvation and solvophobic effects are much weaker in nonaqueous solutions with low concentrations of amides than in water.     

Phasengleichgewichte und Stoffwerte im System 1,2-Dichlorethan/n-Propanol/Wasser

Liquid-liquid equilibria of the ternary system 1,2-dichloroethane/n-propanol/water were measured at 20, 30, and 40 °C. In the plot of the system for 20 °C are shown the results of titration (i. e. addition of increasing quantities of water resp. 1,2-dichloroethane to the homogenous mixture of the other components). These results geree well with the plot of extraction results.The binary homogeneous systemsn-propanol/water andn-propanol/1,2-dichloroethane exhibit an non-ideal behaviour. Vapor-liquid equil. of these systems were measures at 133.32 and 666.6 mbar (100 and 500 Torr). The azeotropic points at these pressures are in good agreement with the literature.In addition to this, measurements of the values of surface-tension, viscosity and refractive index were performed.Aqueous solutions ofn-propanol can be determined by the micromethod ofR.

Dielectric Studies of Glycine–Ethylene Glycol–Water Solutions Using Time Domain Reflectometry

Time domain reflectometry (TDR) has been used for dielectric relaxation measurements on the glycine–ethylene glycol–water ternary system (TDR) at 25, 30, 35, and 40°C in the frequency range from 10 MHz to 10 GHz. Glycine–ethylene glycol–water solutions are prepared with different concentrations of ethylene glycol (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30%) and also for different glycine molar concentrations (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1 M). The dielectric relaxation parameters are measured for aqueous glycine solutions also to compare the results with those for the glycine–ethylene glycol–water ternary system. For all the solutions considered, only one relaxation peak was observed in this frequency range. The complex permittivity spectra for the aqueous glycine solutions can be well described by the Cole–Davidson expression, whereas that for the ternary system can be well described by the Havriliak–Negami expression. The logarithm of the relaxation time log() shows a nonlinear relation with the glycine molar concentration that implies a change in the relaxation mechanism with glycine concentration. The dielectric strength increases with an increase in glycine molar concentration, whereas it decreases with an increase in ethylene glycol concentration.     

Molecular polarizability of organic compounds and their complexes: LI. Molar volumes and steric structure of intracomplex compounds in solutions at infinite dilution

Molar volumes in solutions at infinite dilution were determined for a series of intracomplex compounds of beryllium, zinc, cobalt, copper, and nickel, derived from salicyalalanilines, salicylalalkylimines, N-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)(methyl)methylene]anilines, N-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)(phenyl)methylene]aniline, as well as ethylene glycol and glycerol. An additivity scheme was constructed for calculation of the molar volumes of these compounds in solutions. Analysis of the experimental molar volumes of the systems studied showed that chelation via intramolecular complex formation almost always makes these values lower than those calculated by the additivity scheme, implying entropy stabilization of the chelates in solutions due to release of solvent molecules from the solvation shell of the molecules. It was shown that the dipole moments and Kerr constants of those compounds for which the additive scheme for calculation of molar volumes was constructed can be much easier estimated.     

Thermodynamics of micellization of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide in ethylene glycol–water binary mixtures

The aggregation behaviour of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide in ethylene glycol–water mixtures across a range of temperatures has been investigated by electrical conductivity measurements. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) and the degree of counterion dissociation of micelles were obtained at each temperature from plots of differential conductivity, (κ/c) _{T , P} , versus the square root of the total concentration of the surfactant. This procedure not only enables us to determine the cmc values more precisely than the conventional method, based on plots of conductivity against total concentration of surfactant, but also allows straightforward determination of the limiting molar conductance and the molar conductance of micellar species. The equilibrium model of micelle formation was applied to obtain the thermodynamics parameters of micellization. Only small differences have been observed in the standard molar Gibbs free energies of micellization over the temperature range investigated. The enthalpy of micellization was found to be negative in all cases, and it showed a strong dependence on temperature in the ethylene glycol poor solvent system. An enthalpy–entropy compensation effect was observed for all the systems, but whereas the micellization of the surfactant in the solvent system with 20 wt% ethylene glycol seems to occur under the same structural conditions as in pure water, in ethylene glycol rich mixtures the results suggest that the lower aggregation of the surfactant is due to the minor cohesive energy of the solvent system in relation to water.
