Polymer interactions and the influence of molecular structure on polymer miscibility
A miscibility parameter model, which is based on appropriate combinations of solubility parameters, has been used to estimate polymer miscibilities of a representative number of systems. The model results compare very favorably with literature values and recent experimental results demonstrating the usefulness of this approach as a guide for estimating and investigating polymer-polymer miscibility/compatibility and the importance of group or molecular interactions. Construction of a phase diagram from an estimated miscibility window is demonstrated.
