Phase behavior of tetramethylpolycarbonate blends with styrene‐based methacrylate copolymers and their interaction energies

The miscibility of tetramethylpolycarbonate (TMPC) blends with styrenic copolymers containing various methacrylates was examined, and the interaction energies between TMPC and methacrylate were evaluated from the phase‐separation temperatures of TMPC/copolymer blends with lattice‐fluid theory combined with a binary interaction model. TMPC formed miscible blends with styrenic copolymers containing less than a certain amount of methacrylate, and these miscible blends always exhibited lower critical solution temperature (LCST)‐type phase behavior. The phase‐separation temperatures of TMPC blends with copolymers such as poly(styrene‐co‐methyl methacrylate), poly(styrene‐co‐ethyl methacrylate), poly(styrene‐co‐n‐propyl methacrylate), and poly(styrene‐co‐phenyl methacrylate) increase with methacrylate content, go through a maximum, and decrease, whereas those of TMPC blends with poly(styrene‐co‐n‐butyl methacrylate) and poly(styrene‐co‐cyclohexyl methacrylate) always decrease. The calculated interaction energy for a copolymer–TMPC pair is negative and increases with the methacrylate content in the copolymer. This would seem to contradict the prediction of the binary interaction model, that systems with more favorable energetic interactions have higher LCSTs. A detailed inspection of lattice‐fluid theory was performed to explain such phase behavior. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 40: 1288–1297, 2002     

Phase behavior and structure formation in ternary blends: studies on blends of PVDF/PMMA/PVAC

The phase behavior of ternary blends was analyzed on the basis of the lattice approach. Both compatibilization and incompatibilization effects are predicted to occur depending on the relative magnitudes and the sign of the interaction parameters of the binary subsystems. Thermodynamic, structural and kinetic properties were investigated for a ternary model blend composed of poly(vinylidene fluoride), poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(vinyl acetate). This particular ternary system is characterized by a specific symmertry with respect to the interactions in the binary subsystems. This symmetry affects both thermodynamic and structural properties. The experimentally determined interaction parameters were used to model the phase diagram on the basis of the lattice model: the theoretical phase diagram was found to be close to the experimental one. The crystallization processes were analyzed both for the binary and the ternary systems on the basis of a modified Turnbull–Fisher equation. The conclusions are that the properties of the ternary systems can be understood to a first approximation on the basis of those of the corresponding binary systems and the symmetry of the interactions.     

Blends of glycidyl methacrylate/methyl methacrylate copolymers with poly(vinylidene fluoride)

Blends of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)/methyl methacrylate (MMA) copolymers with poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) were found to be miscible when the GMA content of the copolymer is 35.7 wt % or less. The miscible blends did not phase separate upon heating prior to thermal decomposition. The melting point depression method, based on both the Flory-Huggins theory and the equation of state theory of Sanchez-Lacombe, was used to evaluate interaction parameters for each pair. The magnitude of these parameters appears to be much larger than interaction energies evaluated by other methods. Possible reasons for this are discussed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Prediction of miscibility regions in ternary blends of poly(styrene-stat-acrylonitrile), poly(acrylonitrile-stat-methyl methacrylate), and poly(styrene-stat-methyl methacrylate)

The miscibilities of ternary copolymer blends prepared from poly(styrene-stat-acrylonitrile), poly(styrene-stat-methyl methacrylate), and poly(methyl methacrylate-stat-acrylonitrile) were predicted by calculating the interaction parameter, χ_blend, for various blend combinations, from the corresponding binary segmental interaction parameters estimated from previous work. Binodal and spinodal curves were calculated using the Flory-Huggins theory and it was observed that the most accurate estimate of the boundary between miscible and immiscible blends was given by the spinodal. It has also been demonstrated that in some of the ternary blends with fixed copolymer compositions the miscibility of the blend can be altered by changing the ratio of the three components in the mixture. Conditions for miscibility in this ternary system, and possibly a general feature of all such systems, are (a) that at least two of the binary interaction parameters χ_ij are less than the critical value χ_crit, while the third should not be too much larger, that is, one of the copolymers may act as a compatibilizer for the other two copolymers, (b) that the difference Δχ = /χ₁₂ ? χ₁₃/ is small. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Influence of copolymer configuration on the phase behavior of ternary blends

The influence of copolymer configuration on the phase behavior of various ternary polymer blends containing a crystallizable polyester, a noncrystallizable polyether, and an acrylic random copolymer of different chain configuration was investigated. In these ternary blends, the acrylic random copolymer is typically added to control rheological properties at elevated temperatures. In fact, the acrylic random copolymers composed of various compositions of MMA and nBMA were found to have different miscibility with polyester as well as polyether, leading to substantially different phase behavior of ternary blends. Remarkable temperature dependence was also found. The mean-field Flory-Huggins theory for the free energy of mixing, extended to ternary polymer blends, was adopted for predicting phase diagrams where the exact spinodal and binodal boundaries could be calculated. Phase diagrams of ternary blends, predicted by the Flory-Huggins formulations and related calculations, were in good agreement with experimental phase diagrams. The differences observed in the rheological processes of various ternary blends with different acrylic copolymers were directly related to changes in miscibility, associated phase behavior, and chain configuration.     

Morphology and properties of ternary polyamide 6/polyamide 66/elastomer blends

The aim of the work presented is to evaluate the mechanisms and phase interactions in ternary blends based on different polyamides and functionalised elastomers, and to establish a correlation between the morphology controlled by the specific binary interactions, and physical and technological properties, respectively. The properties of the ternary system polyamide 6/polyamide 66/ elastomer depend on the specific blend morphology which is determined mainly by the differences of the surface tension of the components. A phase‐in‐phase structure was observed by microscopic study (AFM) in the ternary polyamide 6/polyamide 66/elastomer blends with maleic anhydride grafted ethene‐octene copolymer, and a “quasi” phase‐in‐phase structure in blends with maleic anhydride grafted ethene‐propene‐diene copolymer as the elastomer phase. An incorporation of polyamide inside of the elastomer particles was observed in the first case due to the difunctionality of polyamide 66. This type of morphology causes an increased elongation at break and toughness of these blends. In comparison to the binary polyamide based blends the ternary blends show an increased elastic modulus, elongation at break and yield stress as well as a high impact strength at low temperatures up to ?20 °C.

Phase equilibria in ternary polymer blends

The phase states and rheological properties of blends of three polymers??polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), and the styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer??in the common solvent chloroform are studied. The phase diagrams are constructed and the positions of spinodals are determined via the method of turbidity points. The effect of the third polymer on the compatibility of the binary blend obeys Prigogine??s rule; that is, it is determined by the solubility of the added polymer in the first two components. The extremum composition dependence of rheological properties of ternary polymer systems in the vicinity of the separation point (the metastable region) is found. Through the method of convex-shell construction, the phase diagrams are calculated.     

Upper critical solution temperature type phase behavior of poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile) blends with poly(styrene‐co‐n‐phenyl maleimide) and their interaction energies

To enhance the heat resistance of poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile‐co‐butadiene), ABS, miscibility of poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile), SAN, with poly(styrene‐co‐n‐phenyl maleimide), SNPMI, having a higher glass transition temperature than SAN was explored. SAN/SNPMI blends casted from solvent were immiscible regardless of copolymer compositions. However, SNPMI copolymer forms homogeneous mixtures with SAN copolymer within specific ranges of copolymer composition upon heating caused by upper critical solution temperature, UCST, type phase behavior. Since immiscibility of solvent casting samples can be driven by solvent effects even though SAN/SNPMI blends are miscible, UCST‐type phase behavior was confirmed by exploring phase reversibility. When copolymer composition of SNPMI was fixed, the phase homogenization temperature of SAN/SNPMI blends was increased as AN content in SAN copolymer increased. To understand the observed phase behavior of SAN/SNPMI blend, interaction energies of blends were calculated from the UCST‐type phase boundaries by using the lattice‐fluid theory combined with a binary interaction model. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
