Abstract

The thermodynamic behaviour of syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been studied in CCl4(1) + methanol(2), CCl4(1) + propan-1-ol(2) and CCl4(1) + butan-1-ol(2) cosolvent mixtures. When the preferential sorption coefficient, λ, is negative, the best cosolvent mixture is CCl4(1) + butan-1-ol(2), but when λ is positive the CCl4(1) + methanol(2) cosolvent mixture is best. The results obtained are discussed as a function of the local solvent composition, x2.
