Theoretical consideration on the number of external degrees of freedom and its application to poly(dimethylsiloxane) solutions

Summary

The Flory theory of polymer solution was modified by assuming the non-additivity of the number of the degree of external freedom for a binary mixture and applied the modified Flory theory to poly (dimethylsiloxane)-solvent systems. This theory can reproduce the experimental results of the interaction parameter χ and the excess volume of mixing, which the Flory theory failed to reproduce.
