Research Abstract |
The following results were obtained in this study. (1) Polymer blends containing random copolymers(s) may be miscible for a certain range of the copolymer composition even though the combinations of the corresponding homopolymers are immiscible. In this case, a repulsive force between the different components in the copolymer is large enough compared to that between a component in the copolymer and another polymer. (2) Intermolecular interactions for random copolymer mixtures were theoretically evaluated from the parameters of the corresponding homopolymers, using the equation-of-state theory extended to random copolymer systems. First, the theory was applied to the ternary system, copolymer/copolymer(or homopolymer)/solvent. The theoretical copolymer-composition dependences of the thermodynamic quantities as well as the intermolecular interaction were in agreement with experimental ones. Next, the theory was applied to polymer blends consisting of copolymers. The calculated dependence of the intermolecular interaction corresponded to the experimental one of compatibility on the copolymer composition. As described above, this study gave possibility of theoretical evaluation of intermolecular interactions and other thermodymamic quantities for polymer blends and solutions containing random copolymers.
