The Hildebrand Solubility Parameter quantifies the solubility of non-polar and slightly polar substances by measuring the cohesive energy density, which is the energy required to separate molecules. It is a crucial tool in predicting solubility and compatibility in various chemical systems, especially in polymer and solvent applications.

Cohesive Energy Density (CED) is a measure of the internal energy required to separate a unit volume of a substance into individual molecules, reflecting the strength of intermolecular forces. It is crucial for understanding solubility, polymer compatibility, and predicting phase behavior in mixtures.
