Abstract

The excess molar volume and ultrasonic speed of (polyethers  +  2-methoxyethanol) have been measured at the temperature 298.15 K as a function of composition. The polyethers were ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, and diethylene glycol dibutyl ether. The ultrasonic speed values have been combined with those of the excess molar volumes converted to densities to give estimates of the productKS,mof the molar volumes and isoentropic compressibility κS, and the excess quantityKS,mE. The excess volumes are negative over the entire range of composition for all mixtures with the exception of diethylene glycol dibutyl ether, which changes sign from positive to negative. TheKS,mEvalues are negative for all mixtures. Comparable measurements have been carried out on the values of these two properties in an effort to assess the effects of increasing the alkyl group size with a common polar head group, and of inserting oxyethylene groups with a common alkyl group. Also, the deviations of the speed of sounduDwere compared with the mixing function δucalculated in the paper. Graphs ofVmE, uD, δu, andKS,mEagainst composition are presented as a basis for a qualitative discussion of the results.

    However, there are few reports on the mixing properties of trimethoxysilane derivatives with 1-alcohols. Most of the literature has mainly focused on mixed systems composed of alcohols, hydrocarbons, and ionic liquids [4–8]. Therefore, this study has mainly discussed the mixing properties of trimethoxysilane derivatives with 1-alcohols, in order to provide data and theoretical information for the development and research of crosslinking agents.
