Notes:
The relative solubility of tetrachlorohexafluorobisphenol-A polycarbonate was observed in 127 organic compounds comprising 14 different chemical classes at room temperature and up to about 225°C. The polymer is soluble in numerous esters, ketones, halocarbons, heterocyclics, and amides. It is poorly soluble in alcohols and fluorocarbons. Correlation of observed solubility with Hildebrand total solubility parameters was poor; a much better correlation was observed with Hansen three-dimensional parameters. The solubility parameter of the polymer was estimated to be 9.1 (cal/cm3)1/2 (18.7 MPa1/2) from the averages of the Hansen parameters for 26 experimentally identified solvents. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
