Abstract

The compatibility of poly(vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate) copolymer (P(VC-VA)) with thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPU) was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, optical microscopy and solubility parameters. The Gibbs free energy of mixing for the polymer-solvent system was calculated. The mechanical studies show that decrease in the P(VC-VA)/TPU ratio decreases the tensile strength.
