Books by Christian Wohlfarth

The first complete book on enthalpies of solution, mixing, and dilution for polymer-liquid systems, this handbook is a ready companion to Christian Wohlfarth's previously published handbooks of thermodynamic data for copolymer solutions, aqueous polymer solutions, and polymer solutions at elevated pressures, which contain only a small amount of ent

This handbookprovides the only complete collection of high-pressure thermodynamic data that is essential for understanding polymer solutions. It contains data on vapor-liquid equilibria and gas solubilities, liquid-liquid equilibria, high-pressure fluid phase equilibria for polymer systems in supercritical fluids, enthalpic and volumetric data, as well as second virial coefficients all at elevated pressures. It covers all areas needed by researchers and engineers who handle polymer systems in supercritical fluids; materials science and technological applications such as computerized predictive packages; and chemical and biochemical processes, such as synthesis and characterization, fractionation, separation, purification, and finishing of polymers and related materials.

Ten years after the debut of the expansive CRC Handbook of Thermodynamic Data of Copolymer Solutions, The CRC Handbook of Phase Equilibria and Thermodynamic Data of Copolymer Solutions updates and expands the worldΓÇÖs first comprehensive source of this vital data. Author Christian Wohlfarth, a chemical thermodynamicist specializing in phase equilibria of polymer and copolymer solutions and a respected contributor to the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, has gathered up-to-the-minute data from more than 500 newly published references. Fully committed to ensuring the reliability of the data, the author included only results with published or personally communicated numerical values. With volumetric, calormetric, and various phase equilibrium data on more than 450 copolymers and 130 solvents, this handbook furnishes:150 new vapor-liquid equilibrium datasets 50 new tables containing classical HenryΓÇÖs coefficients 250 new liquid-liquid equilibrium datasets 350 new high-pressure fluid phase equilibrium 70 new PVT-properties datasets40 new enthalpic datasetsExpanded second osmotic virial coefficients data tableCarefully organized, clearly presented, and fully referenced, The Handbook of Phase Equilibria and Thermodynamic Data of Copolymer Solutions will prove a cardinal contribution to the open literature and invaluable to anyone working with copolymers.

Packed with newly published references, this book provides 150 new vapor-liquid equilibrium data sets; and includes 50 new tables with classical Henry's coefficients. It also contains 250 new liquid-liquid equilibrium data sets, 350 new high-pressure fluid phase equilibrium data sets; 70 new data sets describing PVT properties, densities, or excess volumes; as well as 40 new enthalpic data sets. A larger data table for values of second osmotic virial coefficients and topics such as include vapor-liquid equilibrium data and gas solubitilities of copolymer solutions round out the coverage.

Providing the basis for developments of theoretical thermodynamic models, this book provides a collection of practical thermodynamic data for a variety of applications, including: basic and applied chemistry, chemical engineering, thermodynamic research, computational modeling, membrane science and technology and environmental and green chemistry.

Thermodynamic data are essential to understanding the physical behavior of copolymer solutions, intermolecular interactions, and the molecular nature of mixtures. This book includes this vital data. It is suitable for those working with copolymers.

Presents a collection of high-pressure thermodynamic data pertaining to polymer solutions at elevated pressures. This handbook offers data for understanding the physical nature of these mixtures and applicable to a number of industrial and laboratory processes in polymer science, physical chemistry, chemical engineering, and biotechnology.
