Abstract

Phase equilibria in the poly(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS)—polydiethylsiloxane (PDES) system in the amorphous and liquid-crystal states were studied by optical interferometry. The findings obtained were compared with the data of calorimetric measurements. The experiments were carried out in a wide range of molecular weights and temperatures, and the phase diagrams were constructed. Thermodynamic analysis of the experimental data was performed in the framework of the Flory—Haggins theory for polymeric solutions. The analytical expressions for calculation of the pair interaction parameter using the binodal and liquidus curves were obtained. The pair interaction parameters of polymers and their dependences on the temperature and molecular weight were determined. The pair interaction parameter was shown to decrease with increasing the molecular weight of the oligomer component, approaching asymptotically a limiting value, which characterizes the interaction of the high molecular-weight PDMS and PDES. It was shown that the phase equilibria in the PDMS—PDES systems can be predicted quantitatively and qualitatively.
