Table 2.
Emix and Chi (χ) values of each ether and the CTC resin.
Parameter/Solvent | DEE | 2-MeTHF | MTBE | CPME |
---|---|---|---|---|
Emix kcal/mol (at 280 K) | 30.9 | 27.4 | 23.8 | 18.5 |
Chi (χ) (at 280 K) | 55.5 | 49.3 | 42.8 | 33.2 |
Blends module, Base: CTC resin; Screen: ether. Geometry optimization done by the Forcite module. “Dreiding forcefield” and “Charge using QEq” were chosen in both of the tests.
