A study of the solutions of uranium hexafluoride and chlorotrifluoroethylene liquid polymers was made with the purpose of relating the vapor pressure to the viscoslty, density, and composition of the solution. The measurements were made at 60 deg C from 0 to 650 mm mercury pressure. The viscosity and density were found to be parabolic functions of the vapor pressure of the soIution. The addition of uranium hexafluoride decreases the viscosity and increases the density of the solution. The rate of decrease of the viscosity diminishes with increasing concentration of uranium hexafluoride while the rate of increase of the density increases. The solution was non-ideal and deviated from Raoult's law. The composition and vapor pressure were related by the Margules equation. (auth)
