Abstract

The miscibility of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (PSSNa), in H2O was investigated by a dilute solution viscometry method (DSV). The miscibility of the polymer blend was investigated on the basis of the signs of the interaction parameters Δ[b]m, Δ[η]m, ΔB and μ. The results from the viscosity method were correlated with the miscibility data obtained for the same blend by Fourier transform infrared and differential scanning calorimetry. These investigation indicated that the examined blend was miscible for all composition ratios examined (w 2 = 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 0.90).The addition of urea to the polymer mixture H2O (1)/PAA (2)/PSSNa (3) decreased the miscibility.
