Densities, Viscosities, and Refractive Indices of Poly(ethylene glycol) 200 and 400 + Cyclic Ethers at 303.15 K

Abstract

Densities, ρ, kinematic viscosities, ν, and refractive indices, n D, were determined for poly(ethylene glycol) 200 and 400 + 1,3-dioxolane, + 1,4-dioxane, + oxolane (tetrahydrofuran, THF), and + oxane (tetrahydropyran, THP) binary mixtures over the entire range of composition at 303.15 K and at atmospheric pressure. The excess molar volumes,, deviations in viscosities, Δη, and deviations in molar refractions, Δ R, calculated from experimental measurements, are always negative. The results were correlated with the Redlich−Kister polynomial. The McAllister multibody interaction model was used to correlate the kinematic viscosities of liquid mixtures with mole fractions. The viscosity dependence on temperature was investigated between 297.15 and 309.15 K for some solutions in a restricted composition range.
