Abstract
We report the results of experimental infrared and thermal analysis st udies of binary miscible blends of poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) wit h an ethyl methacrylate-co-4-vinyl phenol (EMAVPh) copolymer. This is a complex blend system, involving multiple specific interaction sites. Using the concept of competing equilibria we show that the equilibriu m constant describing hydrogen bonding between the OH group of EMAVPh and the ether oxygen of PVME can be determined from quantitative infra red spectroscopic analysis of the fraction of hydrogen bonded carbonyl groups present in miscible binary blends.
