## Abstract The swelling of a nematogenic elastomer by an isotropic solvent was earlier predicted (__Macromolecules__ 25, 445 (1992)) to be more complex than that of a classical elastomer. We extend here to the swelling by solvents having a nematicβisotropic transition in the pure phase in the regi

## Abstract Sorption of liquids by elastomers is advanced as a means of studying polymer structure. Liquids represent a wider versatility in this regard over vapors since they allow choices of molecular sizes, shapes, and configurational distributions, and thermal effects not available with vapors.
An alternate thermodynamic formalism is developed to correlate the solubility of a non-volatile solute in a supercritical fluid (SCF) as a function of the density of the fluid phase. We show that this solubility yaries approximately in a linear fashion with the solvent density when examined in eithe
## Abstract Material recycling of silaneβcrosslinked polyethylene (silaneβXLPE) was investigated to make thermoplastic polyethylene (PE). To make thermoplastic PE from silaneβXLPE, a crosslinking element that consists of a siloxane bond must selectively be decomposed. Supercritical alcohol and wate
