Recently, our group introduced Gibbs distribution into Flory—Huggins polymer solution theory. It reasonably describes the polymer cohesion energy. In the present study, we applied the said theory to calculate the polymer solubility parameter and a more accurate value has been found. It indicates that the present theory is reliable and can be used to compute polymer solution parameters.
