A term often associated with hazardous materials and water is miscibility. If a chemical is miscible with water, it will mix with water, which could make clean up very difficult. This is a very ...

A technique first described back in the 1960’s, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), is still a mainstay of drug-polymer miscibility analysis in most pharmaceutical research groups. Now, a new ...

Newly discovered Liquid-to-liquid transition could find practical applications. Liquids are no longer a single state of matter. Scientists have discovered a so-called liquid-to-liquid transition, ...

Dissolving polymers with organic solvents is the essential process in the research and development of polymeric materials, including polymer synthesis, refining, painting, and coating. Now more than ...

A method is described that can predict the way the great majority of polyolefins mix with each other just based on knowledge of their chemical architecture. The miscibility of saturated hydrocarbon ...

Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to ...
