The
density and refractive index were determined for four binary
mixtures of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-diphenyldisiloxane with 2,4,6,8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane,
2,4,6,8-tetramethyl-2,4,6,8-tetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane, 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-tris(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)cyclotrisiloxane,
and 1,3-diethenyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane at different
temperatures (T = 308.15, 313.15, 318.15 323.15 and
328.15 K) and atmospheric pressure using a DMA4500/RXA170 combined
system. The excess molar volume, partial excess volume at infinite
dilution, isobaric coefficient of thermal expansion, excess refraction
indices, Lorentz–Lorenz molar refraction, and the deviation
in molar refraction have been calculated using these data. The results
have been incorporated into the Redlich–Kister equation and
used to estimate the binary interaction parameters and standard deviation.
The values of partial excess volume at infinite dilution and excess
refraction indices for the four binary systems at different temperatures
were calculated using the adjustable parameters of the Redlich–Kister
smoothing equation. The factors that affect these excess quantities
have been discussed.
