Abstract

In this study, the solubility of 1,1-difluoroethane in polystyrene was correlated and predicted using the Perturbed Soft Chain Theory (PSCT) and compared with experimental data from the literature. For correlation, a binary interaction parameter was determined by using experimental solubility data. For prediction, however, data at the infinitely dilute solvent concentration region obtained by Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC) were only used in the determination of the binary interaction parameter. The results were comparable with the experimental data for both cases.
