“…where An is the interchange energy density for the solventsolute pair. The use of Equation 5, together w'ith the Flory-Huggins expression for the athermal configurational entropy of mixing, gives X = Xs + ~An (6) The interchange energy density, A¡2, is given by A12 = (fu + c22 -2c \2) (7) where the c,/s characterize the intermolecular forces acting between molecules (or molecular segments) i and j. For the pure components, cu and c22 are the cohesive energy densities of components 1 and 2 : In Equation 8, AE* is the energy of vaporization of substance i to a gas at zero pressure; \t and t¡ are defined, respectively, as the nonpolar and the polar solubility parameters of substance i.…”
