Crc Handbook Of Solubility Parameters And Other... May 2026

The handbook focuses on , which are numerical values that reflect the degree of intermolecular forces holding a substance together. These parameters are primarily derived from the cohesive energy density (CED) , defined as the square root of the energy required to vaporize one mole of a liquid. The two primary types of parameters discussed are:

The second edition is a significant expansion, featuring a bibliography of and 40 new data tables . It develops the concept of solubility parameters from empirical, thermodynamic, and molecular perspectives, demonstrating their application to liquids, gases, solids, and polymer systems.
