Notes:
Polymers with different compositions of vinyl alcohol and vinyl acetate units (P(VA-VAc)), obtained by alcoholysis of poly(vinyl acetate) with sodium methoxide, were mixed with poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP). The miscibility was studied observing glass transition temperatures by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The calorimetric results indicate that for vinyl alcohol unit contents in P(VA-VAc) of roughly 70 wt.-% or more, P(VA-VAc)/PVP blends are fully miscible, whereas blends obtained from P(VA-VAc) with vinyl alcohol contents lower than the above mentioned values are only partially miscible or even immiscible. The miscibility is attributed to hydrogen bond interactions between hydroxyl groups in P(VA-VAc) and the carbonyl group of PVP.
