Park, Auteur ; C. B. Park, Auteur ; C. Tzoganakis, Auteur ; K. H. Tan, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p. 4369–4373 Note générale : Bibliogr. p. 4373 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Polymers  --  polystyrene;  Density;  Surface  tension Résumé : In this paper we present a simple procedure for calculating the mass density of polymers at high temperature and pressure conditions. The proposed method entails the integration of a pendant drop volume from an axisymmetric drop image profile; this same pendant drop profile can be used to determine the surface tension using axisymmetric drop shape analysis (ADSA). Our approach yields both density and surface tension data simultaneously and is advantageous since it does not require any additional procedure or module to calculate the density of polymers in a fluid. This integration method provides a set of density data for the sample polymer, polystyrene, in supercritical fluid nitrogen, which is similar to the data derived from the empirical Tait equation and the semiempirical Sanchez−Lacombe equation of state when the temperature is above the polymer glass transition point. The results corroborate the use of all three approaches in determining the mass density of polymers at high temperatures. The comparable surface tension data are obtained at temperatures above the glass transition temperature of polymer with the densities generated by the three density determination approaches. We expect that the approach based on ADSA in conjunction with the mass density determination by the current integration method can be applied to the surface tension measurements of many other polymer melts in various fluid environments.
