Notes:
Blends of the polyhydroxy ether of bisphenol-A, Phenoxy, with the polyesters poly(1,4-butylene adipate), poly(ethylene adipate), poly(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propylene succinate), poly(2,2-dimethyl-1, 3-propylene adipate), poly(1,4-cyclohexane-dimethanol succinate), and poly(∊-caprolactone), are found to exhibit the single, composition-dependent glass transition temperatures characteristic of miscible systems. Phenoxy blends containing poly(ethylene succinate), poly(hexamethylene succinate), or poly(pivaloactone) were found to be immiscible. Blend interaction parameters, obtained from analysis of the melting-point depressions observed for miscible blends containing crystallizable polyester components, are found to vary with polyester chemical structure so as to suggest an optimum density of ester groups in the polyester chain for achieving maximum interaction with Phenoxy. Too many or too few ester groups lead to immiscible polyester-Phenoxy blends.
