Abstract

The method of optical interferometry is used to study the interaction of PE with PS in situ. On the basis of the obtained data, phase diagrams of the PE–PS system are constructed for a number of molecular masses of the components. For PE and PS oligomers, the UCMT values are determined. Pair parameters for the interaction of homopolymers are calculated, and their dependences on temperature and molecular mass are considered. The quantitative analysis of the behavior of high-molecular-mass fractions of PE and PS at high temperatures is carried out, and the regions of a partial compatibility of the components are predicted.
