25 results about "Hansen solubility parameter" patented technology

Hansen solubility parameters were developed by Charles M. Hansen in his Ph.D thesis in 1967 as a way of predicting if one material will dissolve in another and form a solution. They are based on the idea that like dissolves like where one molecule is defined as being 'like' another if it bonds to itself in a similar way. Specifically, each molecule is given three Hansen parameters, each generally measured in MPa⁰·⁵: δd The energy from dispersion forces between molecules δₚ The energy from dipolar intermolecular force between molecules δₕ The energy from hydrogen bonds between molecules.
