Polymer solubility parameters can be determined through viscosity measurements. Describe how you would do this.
Solubility parameters is mainly determined from intrinsic viscosity measurement. relation of intrinsic viscosity to polymer molecular weight and the chain-expansion factor is given by scientist flory. The chain-expansion factor can, which in turn, is mainly related to the polymer-solvent interaction parameter by correlating and using the Rory-Hug-gins theory.
A variety of models can be used to treat the interaction parameter to solubility parameters 187.102.1031: these equations have thewhich have the general form
