Volumetric and ultrasonic studies of the system (water + polypropylene glycol 400) at temperatures from (283.15 to 313.15) K Mohammed Taghi Zafarani-Moattar *, Fatemeh Samadi, Rahmat Sadeghi Physical Chemistry Department, University of Tabriz, Tabriz, Iran Received 28 April 2004; revised 7 June 2004; accepted 9 June 2004 Available online 10 August 2004
Abstract Ultrasonic velocity and density of aqueous solutions of polypropylene glycol have been measured experimentally over the whole range of composition at temperatures T = (283.15 to 313.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From these experimental data, the excess specific volumes, isentropic compressibility, increments of the ultrasonic velocity, and the isentropic compressibility have been determined for each composition. The results have been interpreted in light of polymer–solvent and polymer–polymer interactions. Also, the excess specific volumes, the increments of the ultrasonic velocity, and the isentropic compressibility were fitted to a variable-degree polynomial equation. 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

1. Introduction Thermodynamics of water-soluble polymers are of considerable scientific and technological interest. Many research groups have focused their attention to obtain information on the thermodynamics of aqueous polyethylene glycol (PEG), which is often used in biotechnology. Knowledge of acoustical properties of aqueous polymer solutions provides useful information on hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity of polymer in solutions [1–7]. Recently, ultrasonic speed measurements were made on the aqueous PEG solutions to obtain useful information on the unique types of interactions in this system [8]. Polypropylene glycol (PPG) is a polymer that is structurally closely related to PEG. However, * Corresponding author. Tel.: +98-411-339-3135; fax: +98-411-3340191. E-mail address:

similar information on the aqueous PPG solutions is scarce. With this consideration, the present communication deals with ultrasonic velocity studies and allied parameters of aqueous solutions of polypropylene glycol (PPG) over the whole range of composition at temperatures T = (283.15 to 313.15) K and atmospheric pressure.
2. Experimental PPG (P400) was obtained from Fluka. Double distilled and deionized water was used. The solutions were prepared by mass using an analytical balance (Shimatzu, 321-34553, Shimatzu Co., Japan) with an accuracy of ±1 Æ 104 g. The ultrasonic velocity and density of mixtures were measured at different temperatures with a digital vibrating-tube analyzer (Anton paar DSA 5000, Austria) with proportional temperature controller that kept the samples at working temperature with an accuracy of 0.001 K. The apparatus was calibrated at each

Experimental data on density (q) and ultrasonic velocity (u) of various aqueous PPG solutions determined at T = (283.15, 288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15) K are given in table 1. At different polymer weight fraction, w2, the isentropic compressibility, js, determined by means of the Laplace equation (js = q1u2) is shown at working temperatures in figure 1. From figure 1, it can be seen that the pure water compressibility at the working temperatures is less than that of the pure PPG and these differences becomes bigger at higher temperatures. This observation is consistent with the previous finding [1,2] that the polymer chains are more compressible. This is due to chain-like structure of the polymer and its greater free volume. Also, it has been shown that [5–7] the increase in u and decrease in js with w2 indicated increase in intermolecular forces forming aggregates of solvent molecules around the solute due to which structural arrangement is affected (polymer–solvent interaction). From figure 1, it can be seen that at the temperature T = 283.15 K for the whole range of polymer composition, the polymer solution compressibility is less than that of the pure water and this indicates that at this temperature the strong polymer–solvent interaction exist. At higher temperatures, this composition range becomes smaller and this indicates that at higher temperatures the polymer–solvent interactions are weakened.

and the experimental, DQexptl, values have been estimated by using 2 !1=2 PnDAT DQexptl DQcalc i¼1 r¼ ; ð5Þ nDAT where nDAT is the number of experimental points. The obtained adjustable parameters, Bp, are summarized in table 2, together with the root-mean-square deviations, r. Figures 2–4 show the values of VE, Du, and Djs obtained experimentally and those calculated using equation (4) plotted against the weight fraction of polymer for the seven studied isotherms. Figure 2 shows that the excess specific volume is negative and decreases in magnitude as temperature increases. Mainly, the behaviour of VE is attributed to the intermolecular interactions between the hydrogen atom of the water and the oxygen atoms of the polypropylene glycol and difference between the size of water and polymer. Strong hydrogen bond interactions between PPG and water at low temperatures are consistent with the obtained negative excess specific volumes. At higher temperatures, hydrogen bond interactions are weakened and hence less negative values of the excess specific volumes are obtained. Thus, we may conclude that the polymer becomes more hydrophobic with increasing temperature. The positive behaviour reflected in figure 3 for the ultrasound velocity increments for the whole range of composition and for all the considered temperatures indicates that the molecular order originated in the mixture process is bigger than the one caused under the ideal behaviour.

mixture is lower as the thermal agitation grows. Strong hydrogen bond interactions between PPG and water at lower temperatures lead to ordered structure of the PPG and water. At higher temperatures, hydrogen bond interactions are weakened and hence the molecular order decreases. Figure 4 shows that Djs behaves in a similar way to the excess specific volume. The behaviour of Djs implies a great difficulty to compress the components of the mixture regarding the impediment that there would be under an ideal behaviour.
