Abstract: | Polymerization-induced phase separation of a polystyrene in various epoxy-amine systems where the amino groups were provided by a monoamine and a diamine mixed in different proportions was thermodynamically studied. A model based on the Flory–Huggins theory extended by Koningsveld and Staverman approach where the interaction parameter was dependent on temperature, composition and conversion, and polydispersity of the components was considered, was used. A general equation for the evolution during polymerization of the epoxy-amine species distributions according to the monoamine–diamine ratio was derived from the Stockmayer distribution. The interaction parameters continuously decreased with conversion. Phase diagrams of the blends were obtained and the critical composition was between 5 and 6 vol.% PS in all blends. |
