Physico-chemical database of fibre-forming binary polymer systems

The present work is a subsidiary contribution to our previous studies concerning polymer/solvent and polymer/polymer systems. The purpose is to facilitate modeling and understanding the phase behavior phenomena in the fibre-forming polymer systems. As it is known, there is an overall paucity of available information on the thermodynamic properties of polymer solutions, especially if one of the components is copolymer. The type of data for different polymer systems varies considerably in quality, quantity and in the nature of experimental information provided, what makes tabulation of data difficult. For that reason, a systematic study in analyzing all available experimental data in open literature and related details concerning solubility and phase behavior in binary polymer systems was done, and an electronic database was built up.
