III. THE ROLE OF BLENDS MISCIBILITY IN THE GENERATION OF IN SITU COMPOSITES... 

The effect of blend miscibility on transport properhes of SPEKK/PEI has been examined by Gasa, Weiss, and Shaw. Miscibilify in fhe SPEKK/PEI system was found to be highly dependent upon the lEC of SPEKK. Thus, miscible blends were found for SPEKK af low ionic confenf (lEC = 0.8 meq/g), whereas the blends were only parhally miscible at lEC = 1.1 meq/g and immiscible at lEC = 1.4 meq/g. In contrast, a blend composed of SPEKK wifh fhe non-ionic PES was miscible across a wide range of lEC values (0.8-2.2 meq/g). Conductivity of the high lEC SPEKK/PEI sample (lEC = 2.2 meq/g) was found to vary as a function of SPEKK content, as shown in Eigure 3.36.

Blends are physical mixtures of polymers. Depending on the extent and type of blend the properties may be characteristic of each blend member or may be some blend of properties. Immiscible blends are phase-separated with the phases sometimes chemically connected. They are generally composed of a continuous and discontinuous phase. HIPS is an example of an immiscible blend. Miscible blends occur when the two blended materials are compatible. Often the properties are a mixture of the two blended materials. The plastic automotive panels and bumpers are generally made from a miscible blend of PE and a copolymer of PE and PP. 

PMMA blocks was observed even when M /Mb was as high as 4.1. A further increase in the hydroxyl content to about 5 mol% in PS(OH) made the blend miscible even at larger and high PS(OH) content. 

Melting Point Depression. A more quantitative evaluation of the relationships existing between lignin structure and blend miscibility is possible through the Tm depression observed in these materials. For semi-crystalline blend systems, such as these, the polymer-polymer interaction parameter, B , can be determined through the following simplified expression (15) ... 

Agitators capable of level 2 will Blend miscible fluids to uniformity, if specific gravity differences are less than 0.1 and if the viscosity of the most viscous is less than 100 times the viscosity of the other Establish complete fluid batch control Produce a flat, but moving fluid-batch surface. 

In polypeptide blends, the balance of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions in two kinds of polypeptide chains play an important role for the conformational stability and the blend miscibility. The observation of the 13 C NMR chemical shifts and relaxation times, and the two-dimensional... 

According to gel permeation chromatographic (size exclusion) (GPC) data shown in Table 8, these polymers have relatively low Mn (about 30,000-70,000), with the degree of polymerization (DP) varying from about 50 to 200. This range of DPs is within the limits of the assumptions used by Krause defining the approximate levels of xcr necessary for blend miscibility [24]. Therefore, we can anticipate that these seven blends should be miscible when % is smaller than xCT which is about 0.01 as predicted by Krause [26]. 

Diblock copolymers, especially those containing a block chemically identical to one of the blend components, are more effective than triblocks or graft copolymers. Thermodynamic calculations indicate that efficient compat-ibilisation can be achieved with multiblock copolymers [47], potentially for heterogeneous mixed blends. Miscibility of particular segments of the copolymer in one of the phases of the bend is required. Compatibilisers for blends consisting of mixtures of polyolefins are of major interest for recyclates. Random poly(ethylene-co-propylene) is an effective compatibiliser for LDPE-PP, HDPE-PP or LLDPE-PP blends. The impact performance of PE-PP was improved by the addition of very low density PE or elastomeric poly(styrene-block-(ethylene-co-butylene-l)-block styrene) triblock copolymers (SEBS) [52]. 

Massa, Voit, and coworkers1231 conducted a survey of the phase behavior of blends of these polyester hyperbranched polymers with linear polymers. Blend miscibility of a hydroxyl terminated polyester was comparable to that of poly(vinylphenol) indicating strong H-bonding interactions, whereas miscibility of an acetoxy terminated analog decreased relative to the hydroxy derivative.
