Polymer-polymer miscibility
نویسنده
چکیده
The theoretical and practical aspects of polymer-polymer miscibility in the solid amorphous state are reviewed. The polymers include homopolymers and both random and block copolymers. Although present theoretical treatments of polymer-polymer miscibility all contain the random mixing hypothesis and are thus not applicable to mixtures that involve specific interactions between the components, most of the observed singlephase polymer-polymer mixtures involve hydrogen-bonding or other specific interactions between the components. Even in the absence of specific interactions, the composition of a random copolymer can often be tailored to provide miscibility with a particular homopolyner. Many polymer-polymer mixtures have lower critical solution temperatures, and a small number of such mixtures have given indications of upper critical solution temperatures. The special phenomena that may be observed when other polymers are mixed with block copolymers are discussed.

New patterns of polymer blend miscibility associated with monomer shape and size asymmetry
Polymer blends are formulated by mixing polymers with different chemical structures to create new materials with properties intermediate between those of the individual components. While Flory– Huggins ~FH! theory explains some basic trends in blend miscibility, the theory completely neglects the dissimilarity in monomer structures that is central to the fabrication of real blends. We systemati...
متن کاملAn investigation into the influence of drug-polymer interactions on the miscibility, processability and structure of polyvinylpyrrolidone-based hot melt extrusion formulations.
While hot melt extrusion is now established within the pharmaceutical industry, the prediction of miscibility, processability and structural stability remains a pertinent issue, including the issue of whether molecular interaction is necessary for suitable performance. Here we integrate the use of theoretical and experimental drug-polymer interaction assessment with determination of processabil...
