Abstract

Abstract The high pressure phase behaviour of poly(d-lactic acid) (Mw = 359,000), trichloromethane, and carbon dioxide ternary mixture systems is presented in this study. Cloud and bubble point pressures were measured using a variable volume view cell at temperatures (313.15 to 363.15) K and pressures up to 33.6 MPa. The hybrid equation of state for the polymer-carbon dioxide system was used to correlate the experimental results. The van der Waals one-fluid mixing rule with three adjustable binary interaction parameters was used for all correlations. The binary parameters were optimised using the simplex method algorithm.
