hydrogen bonding. Its loci result from a solution of the

quadratic Equation 2.814.
The plot in the center of Table C4-4 uses the value of the
disperse parameter corresponding to the optimization
outcome of Table C4-2 (ddisperse 18.91 MPa). One
immediately notes how the many points labeled as BAD
and OUT (red X) are found within the perimeter of the
sphere. This appears to be a aw in the optimization and
analysis.
Its actually a aw in the presentation of the analysis.
Examine the plots counterclockwise from the lower right
(plotted at the optimum disperse parameter value minus 6
MPa). Increasing or decreasing the values of the disperse
parameter from the optimum cause plotted values of the
spheres cross-section to disappeardwhile the BAD and
OUT (red X) symbols move outside the line describing
the spheres cross-section.

To solve Equation 2.8 for the polar bonding solubility parameter

(vertical axis), one assumes a value for the hydrogen bonding solubility
parameter (horizontal axis), a value for the disperse solubility parameterd
in the third dimension, and a value for the sphere radius (RO) . Equation
2.8 is a quadratic equation with two roots. The positive root is the
green line and the negative root is the orange line in these plots within
Table C4-4.

In other words, while occasionally useful when there is

negligible variability in the disperse solubility parameter of
test solvents, two-dimensional plots should not be used for
critical analysis about the success of an optimization.
Two-dimensional plots are simple to prepare and can be
useful when it desired to learn general information about
the types of solvents which have been tested, should be
tested, and about the general location of the optimized
HSP values for the polymer/soil/solvent.
Dont use two-dimensional HSP plots to validate an
optimization. Spreadsheet summaries such as Table C4-1
should be used for this purpose (or occasionally threedimensional plots). The values in columns D, E, F, and G
are the dening information.
