Crystallization, Thermal-Behavior, and Compatibility of Poly(Ethylene Oxide) Poly(Propylene Oxide) Blends
Isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of different poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(propylene oxide) blends were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Glass transition temperature of quenched samples have also been reported. Phase morphologies and poly(ethylene oxide) spherulite growth rates were analyzed by polarizing light transmission microscopy. Results show morphological changes along with regime transitions of poly(ethylene oxide) crystal growth. Kinetic analyses of the data suggest that, although the blend behaves as a noncompatible, phase-separated system, there exists a certain degree of interaction between polymer chains.
