Abstract

AbstractSummary: Thin films of high molecular weight PMMA, PVC and their blend were prepared with solution cast method. Further they were modified by adding Camphor Sulphonic Acid (CSA) to them. DSC studies indicate single glass transition temperature (Tg) for unmodified as well as modified blends indicating the miscibility of polymers. FTIR studies show the interaction between CSA‐PVC, CSA‐PMMA, CSA‐(PVC+PMMA) blend. The D.C. electrical study was carried out at various temperatures from room temperature (307 K) to 373 K. After modification the variation of DC conductivity (σ) is found to decrease in PVC and the PVC‐PMMA blend whereas it is found to increase in PMMA with rise in temperature.
