Miscibility Enhancement of Polymer Blends by Specific Interactions

Robert Weiss, The University of Akron

Abstract

Miscibility enhancement of polymer blends is a current topic of considerable activity. Many approaches have been suggested, though all involve the development of specific interactions between the two polymers. These interactions include hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole and ion-ion interactions, donor-acceptor interactions and transition metal complexation.
