Abstract Values of the polymer-solvent interaction parameter were obtained for cis-1,4-poly(butadiene) vulcanized with alkylphenol—formaldehyde oligomer, sulfur, and peroxide systems swollen with heptane, benzene, and m-xylene. The dependence of the interaction parameter on the degree of crosslinking was demonstrated. The method of vulcanization does not affect the dependence of χ on υr for good solvents, but influences this dependence for n-heptane, a weak solvent. It was shown that the better the solvent, the stronger the dependence of the interaction parameter on the degree of crosslinking.

A mathematical model for stimuli-sensitive hydrogels in a water-alcohol solution is presented and analyzed, in which a new polymer-solvent interaction parameter is proposed to capture the deformation of the hydrogel due to changes in the external alcohol content and temperature. The nature of this parameter is determined in the limit of pure dilatation for poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogels immersed in tempered water-methanol and -ethanol solutions. Overall, good agreement between the resulting model predictions and experiments is achieved; the transition temperatures and "re-entrant phenomenon" are also captured reasonably well. The herein derived expression for the polymer-solvent interaction parameter can be introduced into more generic transient models that also account for fluxes of the relevant field variables.

Abstract The polymer—solvent interaction parameter for an ethylene—propylene ter-polymer containing 53 mole-% ethylene was determined as a function of degree of crosslinking in n-heptane and benzene. A well characterized EPR gum vulcanizate was used to obtain the polymer-solvent interaction parameter in fourteen solvents, and the cohesive energy density of the terpolymer was evaluated. The composite tensile creep curves for gum and filled EPR vulcanizates were obtained and compared with SBR creep curves.
