Abstract
Miscibility and thermal behavior of blends of synthetic biodegradable aliph atic polyester (BDP) with poly(epichlorohydrin) (PECH) were investigated by both differential scanning calorimetry and a dynamic mechanical thermal an alyzer. Single glass transition temperatures in agreement with the Fox equa tion indicate that these blend mixtures are miscible. This was further clar ified from the cryogenically fractured surface of BDP-PECH blends by scanni ng electron microscopy. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
