Abstract A two-solvent method for determining the polymer-solvent interaction parameters independently of stress-strain data is described. The values obtained are much lower than those reported previously. Network densities calculated from swelling data and these interaction parameters are in good agreement with those calculated from the return portion of a hysteresis loop at high elongations.

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.
