✦ Synopsis
The compatibility of blends of polystyrene with ethylene-propylene--diene rubber was studied using an ultrasonic method. The variation of the velocity of ultrasonic wave with composition of the blend is not linear. This non-linearity is attributed to incompatibility in conformity with earlier findings. This behaviour was confirmed by viscometric and solutility parameter studies as well as investigation of morphology by scanning electron microscopy.

A thermally stimulated current ( TSC ) was used to study the relaxation of polystyrene ( PS) , the ethylene -propylene diene monomer ( EPDM) , and the grafted copolymer of EPDM with styrene ( EPDM-g-St) . The effect of the measuring conditions on the relaxation of PS is discussed. Some relaxation pa
