The dependence of polymer‐solute interactions on temperature In the range was 66 to 96°C was studied by inverse gas chromatography (IGC). A correlation equation was developed for estimation of the specific retention volume of nonpolar and slightly polar solutes in polybutadiene (PBD). Using equation of state solution theory, thermodynamic interaction was discussed in terms of contact energy and equation of state contributions in polybutadiene/solute systems. It was found that equation of state theory serves better than the Flory‐Huggins theory as a comprehensive model to describe the temperature dependence of thermodynamic interaction.
