HSPiP 6.1.02
HSPiP 6.1.02 is the current version of Hansen Solubility Parameters in Practice (HSPiP), a specialized software package developed by Steven Abbott and collaborators for predicting and analyzing the solubility, dispersion, diffusion, and compatibility of materials—particularly polymers, solvents, nanoparticles, and chemicals—using Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP). HSP theory breaks down solubility behavior into three components: dispersive (δd), polar (δp), and hydrogen-bonding (δh) energies, allowing users to model interactions quantitatively (e.g., via the relative energy difference, RED, where RED < 1 indicates good solubility). Key Features Datasets: Includes extensive databases like the official solvents dataset (with experimental HSP values and thermochemical data), the “10K” solvents dataset (YMB-based calculations for ~10,000 chemicals), and polymer databases for commercial materials. Tools and Modules: Solvent Optimizer: Identifies...
