Abstract

The blends of polybutene-1 and polypropylene (PB-1/PP) prepared by mixing in xylene at 130 °C and then precipitating in cool methanol are subject to differential scanning calorimetry analysis. The melting temperatures of both components in the blends are determined. The melting temperature depressions of the blends at various compositions are reported and the method developed by Nishi and Wang is used to calculated the interaction parameterX in the blend. All theX values found are negative in the range -0.052 – -1.10, indicating that PP and PB-1 in the amorphous region are compatible.
