Question:

Derive the formulas for the spinodal curves of the Flory-Huggins model and plot the spinodals (T versus xα, xβ) of several polystyrenes in cyclohexane using UNIFAC parameters to estimate the volume of polystyrene relative to ethylbenzene and taking the experimental values of solubility parameters and molar volumes for the species when Nd = 1. Take the degrees of polymerization of polystyrene to be 100, 200, 500, 1000. Plot the estimated reciprocal critical temperatures versus Nd =1/2. Mark the infinite molecular weight critical temperature on both plots with a big X.
