Abstract: | The dynamic viscosities of blends of high molecular weight, narrowmolecular-weight distributed polystyrene and poly(2, 6-dimethylphenylene ether) are studied. The zero shear viscosity ηo depends on the weight average molecular weight M̄w and on the average entanglement molecular weight M̄e in the blend according to ηo ≈︁ M̄3.4 w(blend)/M̄2.4e(blend). |
