摘要：
We investigated the thermo-rheological behavior of high glass transition, high molecular weight and small dynamic asymmetry blends of poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (SMA) and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with varying amounts of maleic anhydride (MA) content, namely 8 wt%, 14 wt% and 32 wt%, in the SMA component. The phase separation (binodal) temperature of each blend was determined rheologically using a combination of dynamic frequency and temperature sweeps in parallel plate geometry; it was marked by a change in slope of the elastic modulus and the occurrence of a peak in tan δ in temperature sweeps. Failure of the time-temperature superposition principle and observation of two peaks in the Cole-Cole plots corroborated these findings. The blends displayed lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior with the critical temperatures exhibiting a non-monotonic dependence on the MA content. From rheological and thermal measurements it was concluded that SMA/PMMA blends containing 14% MA were more miscible than those containing 8% or 32% MA, a finding attributed to the compositional dependence of the interplay between SMA-SMA and SMA-PMMA interactions in the different samples. MA also influenced the dynamic asymmetry and pretransitional concentration fluctuations. The phase diagrams corresponding to each blend were modeled using a two-parameter temperature dependent interaction parameter, based on the concept of generalized Gibbs free energy of mixing. The fitted values of interaction parameter were in good agreement with values calculated explicitly using the Flory-Huggins theory.
