Summary

Polymer blends of theoretical and practical interest frequently are comprised of copolymers, which contain sequences differing with respect to chemistry and / or to configuration. An approach is proposed, which may take into account the effect of configurational sequence distributions on the miscibility of blends. Blends of monotactic homopolymers with components of both identical and differing chemistry are treated first. Directional-specific intermolecular as well as repulsive intramolecular interactions are taken into account on a triad basis. The treatment will be expanded to blends with copolymer components, in which chemical and configurational sequences overlap.
