    Notes: Imide units copolymerized with MMA units have been selected in order to improve compatibility between PC and acrylics through specific interaction or internal repulsion. Good dispersion of acrylic inside a PC matrix has been observed upon melt mixing, which can be partially explained by the good rheological agreement between these two polymers. Transmission electron microscopy has shown that the system remains phase separated from 5 to 95 wt % of PC. Phase diagrams for three different imide concentrations have been drawn. Results obtained by DSC (conventional and with enthalpy relaxation) are similar to those obtained by optical cloud point detection. The phase diagrams show the raise of the PC/PMMA demixtion curve (LCST type) when percentage of imide increases in the acrylic phase. Theoretical calculations on binary interaction energy density show a slight improvement of the interaction between acrylic and PC when imide percentage increases. Cloud point measurements on 50/50 PC/acrylic blends varying the imide concentration show that the improvement of compatibility deduced from the raise of the demixtion curve (LCST type) is more related to a kinetic effect (the high Tg of imidized samples is reducing macromolecule mobility) than specific interactions. The calculated favorable interactions are probably too weak to be detected with cloud point measurements. The microstructures obtained after crystallization of the PC phase under solvent vapors in phase separated PC/acrylics blends can also be explained by Tg effects. Moreover, solvent vapor exposure could be a powerful tool to determine the real thermodynamic behavior of the blends at room temperature. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Analog calorimetry is used to study the interaction between styrene and acrylonitrile repeat units. Electrostatic charge calculations were used as a guide to divide the polymer repeat units and analogs into groups. A mean-field binary interaction model was used to evaluate group interaction energies. The enthalpic interaction energy for the styrene-acrylonitrile pair from this study is 7.63 ± 0.12 cal/cm3 which is consistent with values obtained from phase behavior studies of poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) blends. The cyano group, C(TRIPLE BOND)N, of the acrylonitrile repeat unit has a permanent dipole. The results of this study suggest that the orientation of this dipole with respect to the backbone of the acrylonitrile unit strongly affects its interaction with styrene repeat unit. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Analog calorimetry is used as a tool to study the interaction of polystyrene, PS, with bisphenol-A polycarbonate, PC, and with tetramethyl bisphenol-A polycarbonate, TMPC. Electrostatic charge calculations were used as a guide to divide polymer repeat units and analogs into groups. A mean-field binary interaction model was used to evaluate group interaction energies. The enthalpic interaction energy obtained from this study for the PS-PC pair is 0.41 ± 0.13 cal/cm3 while that for the PS-TMPC pair is 0.19 ± 0.34 cal/cm3. The result for PS-PC blends is in good agreement with values obtained from studies using the critical molecular weight approach and the phase behavior of copolymer blends. The value for PS-TMPC does not correctly predict the phase behavior of this blend; however, its standard deviation (on both an absolute and relative basis) is large and the range of possible interaction energies includes the negative values obtained from neutron scattering. The results of this study indicate that the presence of methyl groups on the aromatic ring of TMPC repeat unit is the main factor favoring the miscibility of PS-TMPC blends. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Can random copolymers serve as effective polymeric compatibilizers? (1997)

    Notes: We investigate the compatibilizing performance of a random copolymer in the melt state, using transmission electron microscopy. Blends of polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) are chosen as a model system, and a random copolymer of styrene and methyl methacrylate (SMMA) with 70 wt % styrene is used as a compatibilizer. From TEM photographs it is clear that SMMA moves to the interface between PS and PMMA domains during melt mixing, and forms encapsulating layers. However, the characteristic size of the dispersed phase increases gradually with annealing time for all blend systems studied. This demonstrates that the encapsulating layer of SMMA does not provide stability against static coalescence, which calls into question the effectiveness of random copolymers as practical compatibilizers. We interpret the encapsulation by random copolymers in terms of a simple model for ternary polymer blends. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2835-2842, 1997

    Interfacial tension coefficient from the retraction of ellipsoidal drops (1997)

    Notes: A new method for the determination of the interfacial tension coefficient between two immiscible fluids is proposed. The method is particularly useful for the binary polymer blends. The deformed drop retraction method, DDRM, makes it possible to determine the dynamic interfacial tension coefficient, ν, from the time evolution of a distorted fluid drop toward its equilibrium form. Analysis of this interfacial tension-driven process led to a theoretical relation between the shape retraction rate and the system's geometrical and rheological characteristics. Measurements of either low viscosity model systems or high viscosity industrial polymer mixtures led to a good agreement with values obtained from the widely used breaking thread method. DDRM enables to measure ν in polymeric blends of commercial interest - the high viscosity systems that would be very difficult to characterize by other techniques. Furthermore, for the first time it is possible to follow the time dependence of the interfacial tension coefficient, thus unambiguously determine the dynamic and equilibrium values of ν12. For example, in low density polyethylene blends with polystyrene, LDPE/PS, ν decreased with the polymer-polymer contact time, tc, from ν = 6.9 mN/m at tc = 12 min, to ν = 5.2 mN/m at tc ≥ 75 min - the latter may represent the true thermodynamic equilibrium value, ν12. However, it is not clear whether such a reduction is exclusively due to the thermodynamically driven migration of chain-ends, low molecular weight fractions and additives, or by the thermal degradation as well. The contact time dependence of ν explained some of the differences reported for the data obtained using different measurement techniques, viz. pendant drop, capillary breakup, or ellipsoid retraction techniques. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Design of bicontinuous polymeric microemulsions (1997)

    Notes: Recent experiments suggest that thermodynamically stable, bicontinuous microemulsions can be achieved in symmetric ternary blends of two homopolymers and a diblock copolymer by formulating alloys with compositions near mean-field isotropic Lifshitz points. We argue that practical application of this design criterion may require use of homopolymers of unequal molecular weights and block copolymers of different architecture. We demonstrate the existence of, and explicitly locate, mean-field isotropic Lifshitz points in ternary blends with homopolymer molecular weight asymmetry and either AB diblock or ABA triblock copolymer architectures. These calculations considerably expand the parameter space for observing bicontinuous microemulsions and allow for more flexibility in tailoring melt rheological properties and solid-state mechanical properties. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Morphological stability, interfacial tension, and dual-phase continuity in polystyrene-polyethylene blends (1997)

    Notes: The morphological stability of polystyrene high-density polyethylene (PS/PE) blend is investigated in the region of dual-phase continuity. The effect of the addition of a triblock SEBS copolymer to the blends on the stability of these morphologies, is examined. The results show that the morphology of the unmodified blends changes from co-continuous to droplet matrix for PS-rich blends whereas the morphology of a 50/50 blend maintains continuity but coarsened significantly upon annealing at 200°C. In the presence of the copolymer, these morphologies are much more stable. Selective solvent extraction of polystyrene in di-ethyl ether reveals that the level of PS continuity in the 50/50 blend is higher for the unmodified system than for the modified one. Upon annealing, the level of PS continuity significantly increases for the unmodified 50/50 PS/PE blend. The effect of the copolymer content in the blend on the interfacial tension between the two components is also investigated using the breaking thread method. The interfacial tension is found to be reduced from 5.6 to 1.1 mN/m by the addition of 20 parts of the copolymer to the blend. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An acrylic polymer containing acid and anhydride units, referred to as reactive polyglutarimide (RPGI), has been used to react with PC. The reaction has been previously determined as an acidolysis of the carbonate bond which breaks the PC chain in two parts. One of those two parts remains free while the other one is grafted on the acrylic backbone. We have found that the anhydride units could also react with the carbonate bonds. In this case the PC macromolecule would also be broken in two parts, which would, however, both be grafted on the acrylic backbone. The reaction has been performed in solution in order to keep good contact between the reacting units. The influence of temperature and concentration on the grafting ratio has been studied. The best experimental conditions were determined in order to obtain a grafted copolymer where the acrylic backbone only supports, on the average, one PC side chain through acid reaction or two PC chains through anhydride reaction. Indeed, these two types of reactions could not be isolated. The efficiency of this copolymer as emulsifier has been studied in solution cast blends as well as in melt mixed blends. The copolymer strongly affects the microstructure in solution cast blends where films containing 30 wt % of PC have become transparent. However, the dispersed phase size of solvent cast blends could be highly influenced by the casting conditions related to solvent trapping. In melt mixed samples, the copolymer also reduces significantly the dispersed phase size, but no transparent blends have been observed so far. These results were compared with those given in the literature describing the efficiency of a synthesized copolymer which has a more complicated structure. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Binary blends of linear low density polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), and ternary blends of PE, PP, and EP copolymer (EPR) were prepared in a finely mixed state. In all blends the ratio of PP to PE was 85/15. In some of the blends, the PE component was labeled with a fluorescent dye; in other blends, the EPR component was labeled. These blends were investigated by laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy [LCFM] as a function of annealing time as well as EPR compatibilizer content. In this way we were able to follow the evolution of sample morphology and the location of the EPR in the blends. The presence of EPR in the blends retards the growth of droplets of the dispersed PE phase. When EPR was added in amounts up to 5 wt %, it tended to cover the PE droplets in patches rather than form a true core-shell structure. In the LCFM images, the EPR/PP interface appeared sharper than the EPR/PE interface. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 979-991, 1997

    Thermal diffusivity study of polystyrene/poly(vinyl methyl ether) blends by flash radiometry (1997)

    Notes: This article presents thermal diffusivity (D) measurements by flash radiometry for the polymer blend of polystyrene (PS) and poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) with lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase diagram. Dependence of D on PS content measured at 100°C coincides a phase diagram determined by a cloud point measurement. D value for the blend decreases with increasing PS content and has minimum value at the PS content around 20 wt % from which D increases again with increasing PS content. If the concentration fluctuation between two components in the miscible states at the temperature close to LCST causes the remarkable phonon scattering, the composition dependence of D would resemble the phase diagram. D for the sample in the phase-separated state is larger than that for the miscible state. The larger D in the phase-separated sample would be due to the decrease of the total surface area microscopically contacted to the counter component in the phase-separated state. Dependence of D on temperature for the phase-separated sample is quite different from that of the miscible one. On an isothermal measurement of D for PS/PVME (10 : 90) at 110°C just below the cloud point, D started to increase at time above 100 min and leveled out above 250 min. Isothermal observation of sample film by a differential interference contrast microscopy showed the creation of some structure due to the nucleation and growth of interface at 225 min and it became obvious above 250 min. Thus, the increase in D at 110°C implies that D can sensitively reflect the change in microscopic structures which follows the nucleation and growth of interface. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
