| Abstract: | Blends of linear polyurethane and poly(methyl methacrylate) were obtained by the simultaneous curing of the mixture of two monomers. It was shown that the blends obtained in situ are two-phase systems in which two phases enriched in one of the blend components are separated by an intermediate region, the interphase. From the DSC data the compositions of two phases were estimated. It was observed that introduction of a filler leads to the appearance of an additional temperature transition lying between glass transition temperatures of the two phases. The fraction of the interphase was calculated from the calorimetric data. The introduction of a filler increases this fraction. This may be considered as some improving of compatibility of the two components in the presence of a filler. |
