Polymer Blends in Solution

, 1989
In recent years, studies of solutions of polymer blends and of copolymers have aroused a substantial theoretical and experimental interest. This is motivated by both numerous applications and more fundamental issues concerning the usefulness of the scaling and universality concepts to describe the thermodynamic properties and the phase transitions in ...

Influence of miscibility phenomenon on crystalline polymorph transition in poly(vinylidene fluoride)/acrylic rubber/clay nanocomposite hybrid.

PLoS ONE, 2014
In this paper, intercalation of nanoclay in the miscible polymer blend of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and acrylic rubber(ACM) was studied. X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the formation of nanoscale polymer blend/clay hybrid.
