Abstract The morphology, dynamic mechanical properties and infrared spectra of polycarbonate (PC)/polypropylene (PP) blends were investigated. As expected, PC and PP were immiscible when blended together; however partial miscibility developed following annealing. The miscibility of one polymer in the other was examined using the modified Fox equation and the values of the Flory-Huggins polymer-polymer interaction parameter (χ12) were also calculated following the Kim and Burns approach. Moreover, the possible causes for partial miscibility in the annealed PC/PP blends were explored by infrared spectroscopy. It was concluded that annealing caused degradation of PP, leading to the formation of polar groups which were then able to interact with PC generating regions of partial miscibility.

Polymer Interaction

Abstract Crosslinked ethylene propylene rubber gels were swollen in five solvents at 25–100° C. The solvent polymer interaction parameter μ for each system was determined as a function of temperature and polymer concentration. A thermodynamic criterion of the sign of the heat of dilution, ΔH1, was pointed out. For three of the systems ΔH1 was negative. The entropy contribution to the interaction parameter was found to be smaller than usual for systems having a temperature-dependent heat of dilution. The heats of dilution and the entropy terms may be consistently interpreted in terms of Prigogine's theory of solutions.

Good Agreement

It has been demonstrated recently by Koningsveld that the concentration dependence of the solvent–polymer interaction parameter cannot be neglected in certain systems. By considering this effect in the polystyrene–cyclohexane system it has been possible to calculate a value for the entropy parameter ψ. Estimation of the cohesive energy density (c.e.d.) of polystyrene using this corrected ψ gave a result in good agreement with values of the c.e.d. obtained from other sources.
