Abstract
Knowledge of the heat of mixing is very important in order to evaluate the interaction parameter, according to the Patterson theory. In this work we illustrate the results regarding some polymer blends, based on poly(vinyl acetate) and some polyacrylates with different substituent groups. In this way it is possible to understand the effect of the lateral group hindrance, as it will be illustrated in the paper.
