Abstract

A mean field model for the miscibility of binary polymer systems containing random copolymers has been extended to take into account the microstructure of the respective macromolecular constituents. The resulting model has been applied to the special case of mixtures of copolymers containing identical moieties but differing in microstructure and/or composition. An example of such a system is the mixture of polyvinyl chloride and chlorinated polyethylene.
