Compatibility of a crystalline/crystalline polymer blend, poly(viny1 alcohol) (PVA)/poly(3hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), was studied by high-resolution solid-state 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The 'H T1 measurement demonstrated that both the compatibility and the domain size depend on the composition of the blen

โฆ Synopsis
A formation of poly(viny1 alcohol) (PVA)/alumina gel composite was investigated with a viewpoint of compatibility of the composite. An alumina sol was prepared from aluminium iso-propoxide (Al(iPro)3). The alkoxide was hydrolyzed and the resultant hydrate was peptized to a clear sol with acetic acid. The composite were transparent in whole content of alumina. The effects of dispersed alumina on the sorption of water and mechanical properties of composite were examined. The composites containing PVA 40-50% are flexible. They are folded in various forms and can be drawn five times the initial length in humid state. The residues obtained by calcination to remove PVA at 600ยฐC keep its original form and transparency.

The melting temperature of the gels of the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/ethylene glycol (EG) system was measured. It was found that the temperature was independent of the thermal hysteresis. The apparent enthalpy of the fusion of the junction, DH, was 206 kJ/mol for a high molecular weight atactic PVA
