Abstract

Blends of low molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) show unique morphology, depression of spherulite growth rate, and melting temperature of PEO with increasing PMMA concentration, a glass transition temperature intermediate between those of pure componentsl. This and other evidence, based on the dynamical-mechanical properties, light scattering and electron microscopy investigation2, indicate that PEO/PMMA blends are compatible in the molten state.
