Evaluation of the polymer-solvent interaction parameter χ for the system cured styrene butadiene rubber and toluene

One of the most popular cured rubbers used in industrial applications is styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and frequently its network structure is studied by means of swelling techniques in solvent. Normally, toluene is used as solvent in this test. In order to estimate the crosslink density from the e...
