The plasticization of a polymer by solvent has a dramatic impact on both its thermal and mechanical behavior. With increasing demand for zero volatile organic compound materials and coatings, water is often the sole solvent used both in the polymer synthesis and in formulation and application; latex colloids derived from emulsion polymerization are a good example. The impact of water on the glass transition temperature of a polymer thus becomes a critical physical property to predict. It has been shown here that in order to do so, one simply needs the dry state glass transition temperature (T-g,) of the (co)polymer, the T, of water, and the saturated weight fraction of water for the sample in question. Facile calculation of the later can be achieved using water sorption data and the group additivity method. With these readily available data, we show that a form of the Flory-Fox equation can he used to predict the hydroplasticized state of copolymers in exceptional agreement with direct experimental measurement. Furthermore, extending the prediction to include the impact of the decree. lionization for pH responsive components, only with extra knowledge of the pK(a), was also validated by experiment.
