Question: Estimate the cSE parameter for poly ( styrene ) and poly ( ethylene ) using solubility parameters ( Table 7 . 1 in the required

Estimate the cSE parameter for poly(styrene) and poly(ethylene) using solubility
parameters (Table 7.1 in the required textbook) at 140\deg C. Assume the density of PS and PE are
0.969 and 0.784 g/cm3 at 140\deg C. Use the somewhat arbitrary segment (lattice site) volume to be 3
118.(This value is often assumed in the literature for hydrocarbon polymers. Note: 1=0.1 nm =10-8 cm).
table 7.1 gives solubility for styrene to be 9.1 and ethylene 7.9
