Abstract
AbstractBlends of poly(vinyl chloride) with chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), and blends of different chlorinated poly(vinyl chlorides) (CPVC) provide an opportunity to examine systematically the effect that small changes in chemical structure have on polymer‐polymer miscibility. Phase diagrams of PVC/CPVC blends have been determined for CPVC's containing 62 to 38 percent chlorine. The characteristics of binary blends of CPVC's of different chlorine contents have also been examined using differential calorimetry (DSC) and transmission electron microscopy. Their mutual solubility has been found to be very sensitive to their differences in mole percent CCl2 groups and degree of chlorination. In metastable binary blends of CPVC's possessing single glass transition temperatures (Tg) the rate of phase separation, as followed by DSC, was found to be relatively slow at temperatures 45 to 65° above the Tg of the blend.
