Abstract
AbstractThe phase behavior of binary mixtures of copolymers containing varying amounts of styrene and acrylonitrile (SAN) with a large range of aliphatic polyesters was examined. Miscibility was observed over a limited range of AN contents of the SANs, for each polyester, while similarly for each SAN, miscibility was only observed over a limited range of polyester molecular structures. Thermodynamic interaction parameters for the miscible blends were obtained by analysis of the depression of the polyester melting point. A binary interaction model was used to correlate the data and six group interaction parameters were deduced by subdividing the polyester and SAN copolymer repeating units in three different ways. It is concluded that there is a strong repulsion between the segmental units within the polyesters and within the SAN copolymers, which is an important factor in the observed phase behavior.
