Miscibility of poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) and poly(α-methyl styrene-co-acrylonitrile) with copolymers of methyl methacrylate

Abstract

Poly(α-methyl styrene-co-acrylonitrile) was found to be miscible with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-ethyl methacrylate) and with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-n-butyl methacrylate). All these blends exhibited lower critical solution temperatures. Poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) was also found to be miscible with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-ethyl methacrylate) and with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-n-butyl methacrylate). However, phase separation of these blends could not be induced by heating up to 300°C.
