Abstract

Phase behavior data are presented for poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA: Mw=15,000, 120,000) in supercritical solvent mixtures of carbon dioxide (CO2) and chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22). Experimental cloud point curves, which were the phase boundaries between single and liquid-liquid phases, were measured by using a high-pressure equilibrium apparatus equipped with a variable-volume view cell at various CO2 compositions up to about 63 wt%_x000D_ (on a polymer-free basis) and at temperatures up to about 100 oC. The cloud point curves exhibited the characteristics of a lower critical solution temperature phase behavior. As the CO2 content in the solvent mixture increased, the cloud point pressure at a fixed temperature increased significantly. Addition of CO2 to HCFC-22 caused a lowering of the dissolving power of the mixed solvent due to the decrease of the solvent polarity. The cloud point pressure increased_x000D_ with increasing the molecular weight of PMMA.
