Ts. Ellis, ESTIMATING INTERACTIONS IN BLENDS OF POLYAMIDES, POLYESTERS AND POLYCARBONATE USING COPOLYMERS, Macromolecular symposia, 112, 1996, pp. 47-54
A binary interaction model (BIM), formulated in terms of elementary ch
emical species, e.g., -CH2-, -COO-, is applied to blends of homopolyme
rs and copolymers composed of polyamides, polyesters and polycarbonate
. By establishing interactional ''null'' points it is shown how estima
tes of the interactions, both favorable and unfavorable, between the b
lend constituents can be obtained. The predictive potential of the par
ameters derived is examined in various situations, such as blends of P
A-66/PET.
