Abstract

Principles of correlation and prediction of phase equilibria of polymer blends applying a mean-field theory are presented and described in examples of various polymer blends based on styrene and 2,6-dimethyl-phenylene oxide derivatives. The estimation of segmental interaction parameters, as well as the correlation of phase behavior, is explained. The predictive capability of the model is shown and our suggestions about the choice of the group-contribution method are made. Calculations based on estimated segmental interaction parameters are in excellent agreement with the experimental data.
