Phase diagram for polystyrene/poly(vinylmethyl ether) blends by 13C-NMR

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The composition of each phase separated domain, thus the phase diagram, has been determined by 13C NMR methods for thermally phase separated polystyrene (PS)/poly(vinylmethyl ether) (PVME) blends. Even in compatible PS/PVME blend T H1ϱ at −5°C, determined indirectly via 13C intensities show microheterogeneity at an estimated 20 Å level if the PVME content is greater than 50%.
