The Local Structure of Miscible Polymer Blends
1. Introduction The formation of miscible mixtures of two chemically dissimilar polymers is in general unfavourable. For many materials a single phase is never formed, while for others, the miscible state is only obtained at low temperatures. The classic description of the interaction between two polymers is via the Flory-Huggins theory (for example see [l]) in which x, the interaction paramete...
متن کاملViscosity Reduction of Heavy Crude Oil by Dilution Methods: New Correlations for the Prediction of the Kinematic Viscosity of Blends
Dilution is one of the various existing methods in reducing heavy crude oil viscosity. In this method, heavy crude oil is mixed with a solvent or lighter oil in order to achieve a certain viscosity. Thus, precise mixing rules are needed to estimate the viscosity of blend. In this work, new empirical models are developed for the calculation of the kinematic viscosity of crude oil and diluent ble...
متن کاملSurface segregation amplification in miscible polymer blends near criticality
– In atomic, small molecule or polymeric multicomponent materials, surface compositions naturally differ from the bulk because one component (or phase) will generally favor the surface region. Binary polymer blends represent a model system to investigate surface enrichment because segregation is enhanced by the small combinatorial entropy of mixing and amplified by chain connectivity (relative ...
متن کاملDynamic Heterogeneity in Fully Miscible Polymer Blends through Molecular Simulations
SUMMARY: The effect of self-concentration and intermolecular packing on the dynamics of polymer miscible blends is examined by extensive atomistic simulations. Direct information on local structure of the blend system allows a quantitative calculation of selfand effective composition terms at various length scales that are introduced to proposed models of blend dynamics. Through a detailed stat...
متن کاملRelationship between the Glass Transition Temperature and the Interaction Parameter of Miscible Binary Polymer Blends
An equation that relates the g h transition temperature, TE, and a binary interaction parameter, x, for miscible binary polymer blends was derived. The equation including no adjustable parameters was based on a thermodynamic mixing formalism using enthalpy as the thermodynamic parameter. The enthalpy of mixing was written as a van Laar expression, and the T, was formally treated as a second-ord...
