Interestingly, a More hydrophobic diluent and cross-linker as well as a higher concentration of cross-linker-containing copolymer revealed an increase In surface area. A high surface area and low cross-link density (CLD) polymer illustrated higher epoxy content. Importantly, maximum surface area (533 m(2)/g) Was obtained at high CLD; inversely, epoxy,content (1.83 mmol/g) was higher at low CLD polymer. Notably, greater rigidity of cross-linker and its higher concentration increased T-max and T-g; contrarily, greater flexibility of cross-linker and its concentration attenuated T-max and T-g. Thermal study demonstrated the thermostability (300 degrees C) and polymer safe temperature (220 degrees C). Indeed, a lower solubility parameter difference between polymer and swelling solvent produces a higher polymer-solvent interaction parameter, resulting in increased polymer swelling. Polymers with high surface area and low CLD demonstrated greater swelling behavior.</p>1 aMane, Sachin1 aPonrathnam, Surendra1 aChavan, Nayaku  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/role-interfacial-tension-solvating-diluents-and-hydrophilic-hydrophobic-cross-linkers-0
