Measurements of the density and viscosity of binary mixtures of (hyper-branched polymer, B-H2004+1-butanol, or 1-hexanol, or 1-octanol, or methyl tert-butyl ether)
Density and viscosity were determined for binary mixtures of {hyper-branched polymer, Boltorn H2004 (B-H2004) + 1-alcohol (1-butanol, 1-hexanol, and 1-octanol)} at T = (298.15, 308.15, 318.15, 328.15, and 338.15) K and of {B-H2004 + methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE)} at T = (298.15, 308.15, and 318.15) K and ambient pressure. The temperature dependence of density and viscosity is described by linear regression and by the Vogel-Fucher-Tammann equation, respectively. Excess volumes for the system {B-H2004 + MTBE} are presented as a function of mass fraction. Viscosity deviations were calculated and correlated by the Redlich-Kister polynomial expansions using also the mass fractions. The polynomial correlations describe the variation of viscosity with composition. A qualitative discussion on these quantities in terms of molecular interactions is reported. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
