Notes:
Miscibility in blends of random copolymers of p-bromostyrene (pBrSt) and o-bromostyrene (oBrSt) [P(pBrSt-co-oBrSt)] with partially sulfonylated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (SPPO) have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). For an SPPO of given degree of sulfonylation, a miscibility window in terms of the isomeric composition of the brominated copolymer was seen; the location and width of the window was a function of sulfonylation. In general, copolymers with a higher content of pBrSt exhibit miscibility with SPPOs with higher degrees of sulfonylation. Upon annealing to temperatures of 280° and 320°C, only small changes in the miscibility regime were observed. The miscibility behavior was analyzed on the basis of the mean-field theory in terms of the individual segmental interaction parameters. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
