Abstract

AbstractTwo sets of polymer blends have been prepared by mixing solutions or melts of polystyrene with polybutene‐1(poly(1‐ethylethylene)), cellulose acetate, poly(methyl methacrylate), polyisobutylene, atactic polypropylene, poly(vinyl chloride), high pressure polyethylene, and of poly(vinyl chloride) with high pressure polyethylene, ABS, poly(vinylidene chloride), poly(vinyl acetate), vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer. The phase structure of these blends was analysed by microscopic and differential calorimetric measurements and by determination of the turbidity of the films. Phase diagrams were prepared from the glass transition temperatures and melting points taken from DSC curves. In this analysis all systems show a distinct phase separation ensuing from incompatibility. The only exception is the blend: poly(vinyl chloride) + vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer.
