Solvent activities of seven organic solvents in mixtures with PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) of different molecular weights have been measured at 298.15 and 313.15 K using the vapor sorption technique. The results have been used for testing the thermodynamic consistency of an extended version of Flory's theory. In this theoretical approach a more detailed expression of the combinatorial entropy is used and found to be superior to the common Flory‐Huggins expression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
