Abstract
Cloud-point data to $160^{\circ}C$ and 1,000 bar are presented with poly(ethylene-co-15.3 mole% octene) copolymers ($PEO_{15}$) in pure 1-octene and mixtures of ethylene - 1-octene. The cloud-point curves for $PEO_{15}$ - ethylene - 1-octene mixture dramatically increase in pressure to as high as 1,000 bar with an increasing ethylene concentration. At ethylene concentrations less than 18 wt%, the ternary mixture has bubble- and cloud-point curves. As the ethylene concentration of the ternary mixture increases, the bubble-point curve and the single-phase region reduce. The reduction in the single phase region with increasing ethylene concentrations is the result of reduced dispersion interactions between $PEO_{15}$ and the mixed solvent. The single-phase region decreases with increasing temperatures when ethylene concentrations are lower than 36 wt%, whereas the single-phase region increases with temperatures at ethylene concentrations greater than 50 wt%. At ethylene concentrations greater than 50 wt% the effect of the polar interactions of the mixed solvent, which is unfavorable to dissolve PEO, is greater than the effect of the density of the mixed solvent. Therefore, the cloud-point pressures increase with a decreasing temperature. However, at ethylene concentrations less than 50 wt%, the cloud-point pressures decrease with temperature, because the effect of the polar interactions is less than the density effect.
