Abstract
High density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) solubility in several pure and blend non-polar organic solvents was measured at 365–430 K temperature at atmospheric pressure, with polymer concentration of 0.5–25 g in 100 ml of solvent. The activity coefficients were estimated depending on the experimental solubility results for all the polymer-solvent systems. A non-ideal equation combined with activity coefficient was developed based on the crystallinity. A new correlation equation was attained, which is based on the melting temperature and heat of fusion using SSPS software. These two equations were used to predict the solid-liquid experimental data for the binary system polymer-solvent. The distinction between the experimental and model data was assessed by using mean absolute deviation percentage (MAD %). The non-ideal equation based on crystallinity and the new correlations showed low MAD %, displaying a close match with the experimental data.
