Abstract
AbstractThe Miscibility in blends of poly(2,6‐dimethylphenylene oxide)Systematic IUPAC name: poly[oxy(2,6‐dimethyl‐1,4‐phenylene)]. (PPO) with random or block copolymers of styrene and methyl methacrylate (MMA) was studied by light microscopy and glass transition temperature measurements. Blends of PPO and the random copolymers were found to be miscible up to a copolymer content of 18 wt.‐% MMA. The transition from miscibility to immiscibility in these blends in independent of temperature in the range 100 to 350°C. From these data, the segmental interaction parameter between units of the homopolymer and MMA, χPPO/PMMA is estimated to be about 0,5. Blends of PPO and the block copolymers of styrene and MMA used behave essentially as the corresponding homopolymers in terms of miscibility.
