The size dependent miscibility of binary polymer blend films of polystyrene (PS) and tetramethylbisphenol-A polycarbonate (TMPC) is studied by the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation in the way of computing Flory-Huggins interaction parameter, χ, of the blend films, which determines the blend films compatibility. It is found that the miscibility of the two polymers decreases as the film thickness D decreases. After that, the size dependent glass transition temperature Tg(w,D) of the two polymers blend films in miscible ranges are determined by computer simulation and the Fox equation where w is the weight fraction of the second component.

A unified model is developed for the finite size effect on the glass transition temperature of polymers Tg(D) where D denotes diameter of particles or thickness of films. In terms of this model, Tg(D) depends on both the size and interface conditions. The predicated results are consistent with the experimental evidences of polystyrene (PS) and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films and nanoparticles with different interface situations.
