Density, excess volumes, and partial volumes of the binary systems of dimethyl sulfoxide + ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and styrene at 298.15 K

Densities of the binary systems of dimethyl sulfoxide with ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and styrene have been measured as a function of the composition at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure using an Anton Paar DMA 5000 oscillating U-tube densimeter. The calculated excess volumes were correlated with the Redlich-Kister equation and with a series of Legendre polynomials. The excess volumes are negative for the four binaries, probably as a result of the large dipole moment of DMSO, becoming smaller as the monomer becomes more branched or longer, and the dipole moment per monomer unit becomes larger.
