Abstract
The thermal property and hydrogen bonding in polymer blends of poly(vinylphenol) (PVPh) and poly(hydroxylether of bisphenol A) (phenoxy) were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). This PVPh/phenoxy blend shows single composition-dependent glass transition temperature over the entire compositions, indicating that the hydrogen bonding exists between the hydroxyl of PVPh and hydroxyl of phenoxy. The negative T g deviation of the PVPh/phenoxy blend indicates the strong intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction. The inter-association constant for the PVPh/phenoxy blend is significantly higher than self-association constants of PVPh and phenoxy, revealing that the tendency toward hydrogen bonding between PVPh and phenoxy is more favorable than the intra-hydrogen bonding of the PVPh and phenoxy in the blend.
