I. RATE PROCESSES
Solubility parameters are thermodynamic quantities
(Chapter 2.9.2), properties which are characterized by
equilibrium. As such, one wouldnt expect them to be
determinative of rate processes such as rate of dissolving.
However, it is clear from Tables C4-1, C4-2 and C4-5 that
the experimental measurements are of time to dissolve, and
for PR1 and PR2 that time does correlate with radius of
the solubility sphere. A smaller solubility sphere is noted
when the solution time is short, and the reverse is noted as
well.
One should not expect this to be a universal nding. It
occurs here because time to dissolve was used as a proxy for
whether or not the polymer dissolved. It occurs with these
experiments because the experimenters had used HSP to
select solvents and mixtures, some of which should be
successful, and time of solution was a practical way of
differentiating among them.
