Abstract

Tosylate functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-Tos) which was synthesized via the tosylation of the corresponding poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride was thermodynamically characterized at temperatures in K between 303 and 373 by inverse gas chromatography technique (IGC). The retention diagrams of n-hexane, n-heptane, noctane, n-nonane, n-decane, dichloromethane, chloroform, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate and ethanol on the PEG and PEG-Tos were plotted between these temperature ranges. Some polymer-solvent thermodynamic interaction parameters, such as weight fraction activity coefficient,  1 , Flory-Huggins polymer-solvent interaction parameters,  12 χ were determined for studied solvents at infinite dilution of PEG and PEG-Tos at temperatures above mentioned. Then, the partial molar heat of sorption, s H1 , the partial molar heat of mixing at infinite dilution,   1 H and as well as the molar heat of vaporizations of solvents, v H were determined. In addition, the solubility parameter of PEG and PEG-Tos 2  was determined at room temperature by extrapolation of the values of solubility parameters from studied temperatures to 298 K.
