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

Abstract
The extens of crystallization of poly(3โhydroxybutyric acid) (P(3HB)) in blends of P(3HB) with stereoregular poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) have been studied by means of infared spectroscopy. The degree of crystallinity of P(3HB) was found to decrease by blending with atactic PVA when PVA was the predominant component of the blend. In P(3HB) blends with highly syndiotactic PVA, a significant suppression of P(3HB) crystallization was observed in a wider range of blend composition than that in P(3HB)/atactic PVA blends. These results are consistant with previous results obtained by means of solidโstate ^13^C nuclear magnetic resonance and differential scanning calorimetry. In blends with highly isotactic PVA, P(3HB) was found to crystallize in the same way as in pure P(3HB).
