Abstract
Monte Carlo three dimensional lattice simulations of the expansion behaviour of homopolymer chins in a miscible blend were performed for asmmetric blend compositions. Chain expansion coefficients were calculated as a function of segmental interaction energy and composition. Substantial expansions of the minority chains were found as the compositional asymmetry increased, a result in agreement with recent experimental results. The calculations are also in good agreement with predictions of chain expansions as a function of interaction energy.
