Upper critical solution temperatures of hydrocarbon + fluorocarbon mixtures : mixtures with specific interactions

Abstract

The upper critical solution temperatures of a series of compounds with perfluorotributylamine and with perfluorocyclohexene are reported. From these results the interaction energy parameter, ξ, has been calculated by using a hard sphere+attractive term equation of state, together with the one-fluid model. The values of ξ for these mixtures and a few calculated from literature upper critical solution temperatures have been discussed in terms of possible specific interactions between pairs of unlike molecules.
