Cover Feature: Revisiting Hansen Solubility Parameters by Including Thermodynamics (ChemPhysChem 21/2017)

The Cover Feature shows an artist's impression of the challenge of predicting the solubility of agrochemicals, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Such predictions often work for polymers, but not for small molecules. By including the thermodyamics of mixing and dissolution, researchers from the University of Amsterdam and the Solvay Lab of the Future in Bordeaux created a set of models that can predict small‐molecule solubility (artwork by Itamar Daube, http://www.itamardaube.com).
