Abstract
In this work, five different techniques: dilute solution viscometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) were employed in order to evaluate interactions of amorphous poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and semi-crystalline poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in solution and solid state. The results varied significantly from one experimental technique to another. The positive interactions between the investigated polymers were found over the whole composition range only in solution. However, in the solid state, by DSC and DMA analysis, the positive interactions were found only at elevated PVC content, while FT-IR and SEM analysis could not confirm interactions between the investigated polymers.
