✦ Synopsis

Alum'act--The miscibility behaviour of poly(chloromethyl methacrylate) (PCMMA) and poly(2-chloroethyl methacrylate) (PCEMA) with poly(~-caprolactone) (PCL) was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Each of these blends exldbited a single composition-dependent glass transition temperature indicative of miscibility. Based on the melting point depression of PCL in the blends, the interaction parameters were found to be -0.82 and -0.76 for PCMMA/PCL and PCEMA/PCL blends respectively.
