Swelling Of Polymer-Oligomer Particles, Habiba Rajabu Mfutakamba Jan 1980

Swelling Of Polymer-Oligomer Particles, Habiba Rajabu Mfutakamba

All Master’s Theses

A quantitative study of the swelling capacity of polymer-oligomer particles, and the rate of transport of slightly water soluble compound 1, e.g. chlorobenzene, from bulk phase to the particles has been carried out. A much higher swelling capacity was attained when compound 1 was subdivided (before it was added to the swelling experiments) than when it was added as a bulk at the same experimental conditions. It is shown that the increased swelling capacity when compound 1 is subdivided may lead to a much higher value of the equilibrium swelling with compound 1. In previous studies and at the beginning …
