Influence of the Association of Rigid and Flexible Macromolecules on Their Compatibility

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Consideration is given to a melt of rigid rod‐like macromolecules whose side main‐chain links are capable of associating with active end groups of flexible chains (it is assumed that each flexible chain has only one active end group), thus forming associated complexes. It is shown that with decrease in the temperature the association facilitates substantial improvement in the compatibility of rigid and flexible molecules in the melt.
