Theoretical consideration of solubility by Hildebrand solubility approach

Pharmaceutical field is widely focusing on solubility parameter models to select solvent or non-solvent that can enhance solvency of drug. Solubility Parameter is very useful concept in understanding the mechanism of solvent and solvency behavior with their applications in pharmaceuticals to open the door of research having focus on theoretical considerations of solubility. Hildebrand and Hansen Solubility Parameter are frequently used to identify solvents.

Applications of the Hansen solubility parameter for cellulose

Based on the solubility parameter theory, the Hansen solubility parameters of various solvents were calculated and compared to predict the solubility of cellulose in various solvents, which illustrates the feasibility of Hansen solubility parameters to predict the solubility of cellulose in solvents. This paper aims to make a more accurate prediction in advance when finding suitable cellulose solvent system, and then to reduce the burden of cellulose solvent selection.
