“…The presence of rather large negative χ values at low temperatures and the LCST phase behavior are somewhat surprising because an examination of the chemical structure of dPBD and P(4tBS) does not suggest any specific interactions between the two polymers. It is possible that, just as for blends of PI and PBD,11, 12, 22, 33, 37, 38 polyisobutylene (PIB) and random ethylene/butene‐1 copolymers,7 and polypropylene (PP) and other polyolefins,9 the origin of the large negative χ values could be related to a slight deviation from Bertholet scaling 4–7. It is possible that at high temperatures, equation‐of‐state effects, that is, differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of the two polymers, lead to the observed phase separation and the large positive interaction parameter values.…”

“…Miscible homopolymer blends are of significant industrial value because they provide a convenient and economical way of producing new polymeric materials. Although extensive studies of isotopic blends,1, 2 polyolefin blends,3–9 and polydiene blends10–14 has furthered the understanding of the thermodynamics of mixing of polymers and provided data for testing theoretical approaches,15, 16 a number of outstanding issues still persist. One of these is the attempt to bridge between different families of polymers, that is, to understand the mixing of polyolefins with polydienes,17 polyolefins with styrenics,18 and polydienes with styrenics 19…”

“…Small changes in the covalent structure of a monomer can change the qualitative appearance of the phase diagram, as demonstrated a decade ago by the work of Graessley and coworkers 1–5. The mixing behavior of the melts of polymeric hydrocarbons is sensitive to structural changes as subtle as the substitution of deuterium for ordinary hydrogen 6–8. The introduction of long branches can affect the value of the Flory–Huggins χ parameter, as shown by measurements of blends of star and linear polystyrene (PS) 9.…”

“…Thermodynamic interactions in polyolefin blends have been shown to originate from induced‐dipole forces, but they differ in subtle, important ways, depending on the component structures 13, 14. SANS was used to determine interactions of blends, including solubility data,13, 14 light scattering was used to determine phase boundaries, and PVT measurements were used to establish cohesive energy data 13. However, isotope and microstructure interactions have been shown to contribute to χ, the interaction parameter, in that the mixtures of deuterated and protonated polymers are nonideal, having small repulsive thermodynamic interactions 7.…”
