In recent years, the use of polymer blends and alloys has become increasingly important in the development of advanced engineering materials. Through the combination of existing polymers, new and improved properties such as impact strength, chemical resistance, and increased temperature use range have been achieved. An important challenge has been to develop new analytical methods capable of properly evaluating these increasingly complex polymer systems. Careful examination of the blend morphology and degree of internal stress between phases is often critical to the success of the development of new blends and alloys. Blends of grafted and crosslinked PVC and CPE were evaluated by Thermally Stimulated Current (TSC). The extent of crosslinking and degree of interpenetration between the two phases were evaluated by examination of the glass transition peaks generated during the TSC experiments. The unique sensitivity of this technique provided excellent insight, which may allow prediction of long term stability and impact strength based on the degree of internal stress that exists at the phase boundaries. This paper explores the application of TSC as a development tool in the study of impact-modified PVC.
