Abstract

The ability of the modified Guggenbeim quasichemical (MGQ) group contribution method for predicting polymerpolymer miscibility has been tested in blends composed of poly(p-vinylphenol) (PVPh) and ester-containing polymers (polyacrylates, polymethacrylates, aliphatic polyesters, and ethylen-co-(vinyl acetate) (EVA) copolymers). The model reproduces quite well the experimental miscibility range of these systems and predicts miscibility in the PVPh/poly(dialkyl itaconate) family from poly(dimethyl itaconate) to poly(dioctyl itaconate)
