Dataset of working mPEG-alkyne with scCO.

This article contains data related to the research article entitled "Carbon dioxide sorption and melting behavior of mPEG-alkyne". The presented data gives information on the thermodynamics properties of the solvent and the polymer. The time saturation of mPEG-alkyne in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO) was evaluated in a high-pressure variable volume cell in different period of time at different pressure at the same temperature. The effects of pressure and temperature on the density of CO when it is above supercritical conditions are determined with Sanchez Lacombe and Bender Equation and compared with the NIST database and values of equation of Bender. The characteristic parameters of CO were determined with the equations proposed by Chengyong Wang et al. [1] and the sum of squared error was calculated for each parameter. Furthermore in this work the solubility data of scCO/polymer mixture were correlated with Sanchez Lacombe Equation of State (SL EOS) and Heuristic model proposed by Irene Pasquali et al. [2]. This work describes the methodology for solving the SL EOS between the polymer and scCO and the procedure of determining the solubility parameter with the group contribution method necessary to apply the heuristic model is described.
