Abstract
The thermal decomposition of miscible blends composed by the poly(hydroxy ether of bis-phenol A) (phenoxy) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) has been investigated by dynamic thermogravimetric analysis. The results obtained indicate that the blend composition affects the thermal decomposition processes. In general it can be seen that phenoxy causes a negative effect on the thermal stability of the blends.
