Enables scientists to predict molecular affinities, calculate the quantitative effects of intermolecular bonds, and interpret chemical and structural properties

Correlates HSP data to properties including swelling, permeation, performance, chiral rotation, selective orientation, and more

Presents methodology for predicting solubility behavior of carbon dioxide and other gases at different temperatures and pressures

Explains how controlling the solubility of asphalt, bitumen, and crude oils can improve petroleum based products

Provides extensive HSP tables which aid in the systematic substitution away of undesired chemicals as required by the EU REACH and similar legislation

Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs) are used to predict molecular affinities, solubility, and solubility-related phenomena. Revised and updated throughout, Hansen Solubility Parameters: A User's Handbook, Second Edition features the three Hansen solubility parameters for over 1200 chemicals and correlations for over 400 materials including polymers, inorganic salts, and biological materials.

To update his groundbreaking handbook with the latest advances and perspectives, Charles M. Hansen has invited five renowned experts to share their work, theories, and practical applications involving HSPs. New discussions include a new statistical thermodynamics approach for confirming existing HSPs and how they fit into other thermodynamic theories for polymer solutions. Entirely new chapters examine the prediction of environmental stress cracking as well as absorption and diffusion in polymers. Highlighting recent findings on interactions with DNA, the treatment of biological materials also includes skin tissue, proteins, natural fibers, and cholesterol. The book also covers the latest applications of HSPs, such as ozone-safe “designer” solvents, protective clothing, drug delivery systems, and petroleum applications.

Presenting a comprehensive survey of the theoretical and practical aspects of HSPs, Hansen Solubility Parameters, Second Edition concludes with a detailed discussion on the necessary research, future directions, and potential applications for which HSPs can provide a useful means of prediction in areas such as biological materials, controlled release applications, nanotechnology, and self-assembly.

Editorial Reviews

“Hansen (retired from the FORCE Institute in Broenby Denmark) describes the techniques he developed that allow correlations and systemic comparisons in the science of polymer solvents. Most commonly used in the coatings industry for the selection of solvents, the techniques assess polymer solubility, swelling, permeation, surface wetting, and the solubility of organic salts. The approach not only quantitatively describes hydrogen bonding and polar bonding in many types of systems, but in fact agrees with and extends the very general Prigogine theory. The second edition adds two chapters on environmental stress cracking and absorption/diffusion in polymers.”
