β¦ Synopsis
Solution blending of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and starch acetate (d.s. 2.5) synthesized in our laboratory was carried out in 1,4-dioxane. The compatibility of these blends based on the heat of mixing and the free-energy concept was examined theoretically. Experimental evidence for the compatibility of these blends was derived from viscometric and ultrasonic studies and density measurements. Interaction parameters suggest that polymer-polymer interaction is greater than polymer-solvent interaction in the blends under study. All the experimental and theoretical evidence show that the blends are incompatible at the compositions studied. Morphological studies showed a uniform dispersion of starch acetate in PVC.
