✦ Synopsis
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 parameters of PS, EPDM, and EPDM-g-St were calculated in two different ways. In addition, the TSC spectra of PS / EPDM and PS / EPDM-g-St showed that PS/ EPDM was an immiscible system, but there existed a special interaction between the plastic phase and the rubber one in PS / EPDM-g-St blends. The compatibility of PS blends was evaluated in terms of their compositions. The results of inverse gas chromatography ( IGC ) agreed well with those of the TSC measurements.
