## Abstract The mechanical propcrtics of a plasticized polymer are gencnlly admitted to depend to a large extent on the viscosity of the plasticizer. It is shown that the tempernture dependence of the viscosity of a plasticizer may be less than that of a polymer, and that the addition of a plastici

The classical free volume theory is modified semi-empirically to derive an expression useful for predicting the glass transition temperatures (T~) for compatible polymer blends. This equation produccs values of T~ in better agreement than those from the Kelley-Bueche equation with the dilatomctric d
The intrinsic viscosity, [q], measurements have been performed on the solutions of a poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) resin in various plasticizers including the esters of the phthalic and phosphoric acids.

We have evaluated conformational and orientational averages of binary interaction integrals for pairs of chains constituting atomistic representations of short polymer molecules. By considering A-A, B-B and A-B pairs, we relate these results with the Flory-Huggins parameter for the A-B mixtures. Thi
