Polymer polyfvinyl methyl ether

The utility of the DSC for studying polymer-polymer miscibility has been demonstrated for poly(vinyl chloride)/nitrile rubber polyfvinyl methyl ether)/poly-styrene and poly(2,6-dimethyl 1,4-diphenylene oxide)/poly(styrene-co-chloro-styrene)It has also been particularly useful for measuring the melting point depressions of crystalline polymers in blends Mn order to calculate the interaction parameter as will be discussed later. 

Polyfvinyl methyl ether) (PVME) was known to exhibit marginal miscibility with poly(benzyl methacrylate) with LCST behavior. [159] This blend is found to offer distinct similarities to PS/PVME blends. Immiscibility of PVME with a host of other poly(meth) acrylates was observed.[159] PMMA has been shown to be miscible with poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) a naturally occurring polyester that can be produced by bacterial fermentation, which has been commercialized as a biodegradable polymer.[160]...
