Lattice Theory for Solutions ofSmall Molecules
Assume that a solution may be formed by distributing thepure components on the sites of a regular lattice. Furtherassume that there are N1 molecules of Type 1, N2 moleculesof Type 2, and that Type 1 and Type 2 molecules areindistinguishable but identical in size and interaction energy.
Small molecule of Type 1(e.g. solvent)
Small molecule of Type 2(e.g. solute)
Thermodynamic Probability
Place the molecules on the N = N1 + N2 sites of a three-dimensional lattice.
Ω is the thermodynamic probability, which counts the numberof ways that a particular state can come about.

Interchanging the 1’s or 2’s makes no difference.
Boltzmann Equation
The thermodynamic probability (or the number of ways thatthe system may come about )may be related to the entropyof the system through a fundamental equation from statisticalthermodynamics that is known as the Boltzmann Equation.

Smix is that part of the total entropy of the mixture arising fromthe mixing process itself. This is the configurational entropy.

What entropy effects can you envision other than theconfigurational entropy?
If the 1-1, 2-2, and 1-2 interactions are equal, then
If the solute and the solvent molecules are the same size,
The thermodynamics of mixing will be governed by the Gibbs free energy of mixing.
Do you expect a polymersolution to be ideal?

Lattice Approach to Polymer Solutions
To place a macromolecule on a lattice, it is necessary that thepolymer segments, which do not necessarily correspond to a single repeat unit, are situated in a contiguous string.
Small molecule of Type 1(solvent)
Macromoleculeof Type 2(solute)
Flory-Huggins Theory ofPolymer Solutions
Assume (for now) that the polymer-solvent system showsathermal mixing. Let the system consist of N1 solvent molecules,each occupying a single site and N2 polymer molecules, eachoccupying n lattice sites.
N nN N1 2+ =
What assumption about molecular weight distribution isimplicit in the system chosen?
Placement of a New Polymer Moleculeon a Partially Filled Lattice
Let (i) polymer molecules be initially placed on an empty latticeand determine the number of ways that the (i + 1)st polymermolecule can be placed on the lattice.
How can we get the (i+1)stmolecule to fit on the lattice?
Placement of Polymer Segments on a LatticePlacement of first segment of polymer (i + 1):
N ni− = Number of remaining sitesNumber of ways to add segment 1
Placement of second segment of polymer (i + 1):
Let Z = coordination number of the lattice
ZN ni
N
−
= Number of ways to add segment 2
Average fraction of vacant sites on the lattice as a whole (When is this most valid?)
Number of latticesites adjacent to thefirst segment
Number of sites occupiedby initial i polymer molecules
Probability of Placement of the (i)th MoleculePlacement of third segment (and all others) of polymer (i + 1):
ZN ni
N−( ) −
=1 Number of ways to add segment 3
One site on the coordination sphereis occupied by the second segment
Ignore contributions to theaverage site vacancy due to segments of molecule (i + 1)
Thus, the (i + 1)st polymer molecule may be placed on a latticealready containing (i) molecules in ωi+1 ways.

Flory-Huggins Enthalpy of MixingUse the same lattice model as for the entropy of mixing, andconsider a quasi-chemical reaction:
(1,1) + (2,2) 2(1,2)
1 represents a solvent and 2 represents a polymer repeat unit
The interaction energy is then given by:
∆w w w w= − −2 12 11 22
∆w
2= Change in interaction energy per (1,2) pair
Define the system to be a filled lattice with Z nearest neighbors.Each polymer segment is then surrounded by Zϕ2 polymer segments and Zϕ1 solvent molecules.
