β¦ Synopsis
A new group contribution lattice-fluid equation of state (GCLF-EOS) is described that can accurately predict the activities of solvents in polymer solutions. This equation of state is a modification of the equation of state derived by Panayioutou and Vera (1982), which is based on the lattice statistics developments of Guggenheim (1952). The group contribution modification permits the prediction of solvent activity, given only the structure of the polymer and solvent involved. The GCLF-EOS can accurately predict solvent activities in polystyrene, polyethylene, poly(ethy1ene oxide), poly(ethy1ene glycol), poly(propylene oxide), and poly(viny1 chloride). The model does not perform as well for solvent activities in polyisobutylene due to the inaccurate group contribution values for the quaternary carbon group.

The generalized lattice-fluid (GLF) model is extended to predict phase behaviors of polymer/solvent systems. The GLF model gives some difficulties in describing liquid-liquid equilibria (LLE) of binary polymer solution systems due to general assumptions on its derivation. An extended lattice-fluid (
